I've progressed quite far in the technical science part of my job. I'm at the top end of the graph and encouraging my junior staff to simplify their language and message. Some things absolutely need technical terms, but they don't need to use overly complicated words to say "this has moved up" or "this thing is bad". More often meaning gets lost in using euphemisms instead of being clear about the message.
I've moved up the management role as well and really can't bring myself to move from the bottom end of the meme graph. Management really has its own language so they can say lots of words in meetings with very little meaning. We're in the business of doing shit......are we going to do shit or not?
Well yeah, but that's business bullshit speak, nothing to do with science!
Their literal entire first paragraph is about scientists doing it.
Using jargon for "this has moved up" or "this thing is bad" is not specific to science in any way.
