    All skilled trades/professions have technical terms that are necessary for precise communication between practitioners. That is not jargon.
    I agree with you however that many IT people cannot explain the big picture acuurately and concisely.

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
