That seems plausible.  I think I can understand what led to this.  You
know all about Parabola, and you usually talk with others who know
that, so you tend to take that background knowledge for granted.

To other experts, such as GNUtoo, what you write would be clear.
But I don't have that background knowledge.  For me to understand, it
behooves you to notice when a person needs some background knowledge
to understand -- and state that background knowledge explicitly.
