I don't think we're discussing pedagogy. Good _research_ exposition is instead related to communicate your intuition and way of seeing things. The conceptualization of a given situation or problem is what is valuable, how you connect it with other stuff, etc. It is then up to you to memorize and interiorize it.
Good research exposition is the same as good "pedagogy" just for a different audience. Both have to consider didactics. When writing a paper, you teach something to the fellow researchers who know less about a thing than you.
Seems to me to be two different sides of the same coin. Pedagogy is about finding a way to communicate to me an idea based on my intuition and seeing things. A research exposition is about presenting the idea in terms of your intuition and seeing things.
