"The whole “#scientists use big #words on purpose to be exclusive” is such a bunch of #antiintellectual #bullshit. Specific and concise #language #exists for a #reason; you need the right words to convey the right #meaning, and #explaining stuff right is a hugely important part of science. Cultures that live around loads of snow have loads of words to describe different types of snow; cultures that live in deserts have loads of words to describe different types of sand. Specifics matter, and they especially matter in science."
