Yeah, as a scientist I can read most Science or Nature articles in most fields, and get a rough idea. Not every piece of jargon, but I can understand roughly what they did, read the graphs and figure out the result. A friend sent me his maths PhD and I did not understand a single sentence.
That's not because the nomenclature is bad, it's because the concepts in advanced mathematics are further from our familiarity zone. In other words because it's hard.
Both unfamiliar and hard. :)
