That same problem can be seen in law and it's a lot more relevant to the average citizen than academic papers, since "know your rights" means jack shit if you have no fucking clue what the words mean.

It's snobbish gatekeeping to feel superior to the filthy plebs

goodness, don't even get me started on law. I had a hard time reading my tenancy agreement, and I know I'm not a stupid person. I'm not saying this to brag, but how is someone, let's say less intellectually inclined, supposed to deal with that? Sign whatever paper they get told allows them to have shelter and hope they didn't just sell their firstborn to the landlord?
