Tfw you're not following a technical paper and not sure if (a) you're misunderstanding something obvious, (b) it's just plain bad writing, or (c) the concept simply doesn't make sense

I strongly agree with this. I was angrily told by someone that there's no such thing as a concept that can't be explained simply to laypeople, with some goofy feynman cite... just not true.
In the case of that paper, I think it all _can_ be explained simply to experts. There's just a lot - a lot of single words that would need paragraph or page-long explanations. And so 23 pages -> 500 pages. Meanwhile, the core message - what's new - would largely be buried.

meant to say "simply to non-experts" in the first sentence.
