I also disagree with the original comment you replied to. I was just responding to the part I quoted. I agree most specialists in a field don't know how to explain things to non-specialists and I agree it's important to have people who know how to explain things in layman terms, I jusy don't think it's relevant if those people are also the ones doing the research or not.
