People on forums often ask questions their education and experience means they can not understand the answer to.
Then one has the choice of trying a simple explanation for the layman or a parable.
My experience during 30 years as a journalist in the business and it trade press: The more somebody knows about a subject, the better he or she is able to cut the umimportant stuff. This may be leading to simplistic explanations, but it may give an entry point for somebody new to the subject and lead to further investigation, one interest is stirred.
However, there must be an understanding that the explanation given is the simple version of a much more complex one.
