The explanation I hear most often for this is that foundational papers often start de novo. But much of this effect - maybe most of it - is that the ideas from foundational papers enter our culture and colonize it. Turing 1950 may well be much easier to read today than in 1950.https://twitter.com/nabeelqu/status/1181298253381476353 …

That seems right on the first question. On the second, in case it isn't clear, I just mean jargon descriptively, i.e. as "specialized language". To the extent that this would be associated with new techniques or abstractions, it's less obvious to me that it _always_ impedes.

Oh I see, if you see impedes as "add friction to" it would always. That seems true.
