From lazy software types who pride themselves on terse communication?

We literally hold contests for having the most wacky code in the least characters and you want someone to go from typing "BGP" to "Border Gateway Protocol"?

Nobody goes around ELI5ing every term in existence to speak to the least educated audience. It's painful in communication and annoying. There's a base level of understanding expected from the audience you're writing for. I agree that BGP might be on the fringes of that but still in the target. Would you expect someone to do that for you with HTTP? TCP?

It's cool to be nice but at some point the ask is ridiculous.
