It isn't rocket science,,,
Using long winded explanations for technologies to confuse, dumbfound and ultimately alienate the client from a project, is the sign of a poor designer.

Employing "layman's terms" to fully explain processes allows the client to understand, and therefore be more involved in, their design project. Thus ensuring the end result will fulfil the original outline of the brief & not spiral out of control and away from the desired objective.
