There is a lot of truth in this statement to me.

Russell L. Ackoff says,
I once had a brilliant student ... who wrote a highly technical thesis. I asked him to assume that I was an ordinary corporate manager. Would he explain the thesis briefly? He went to the blackboard and began to cover it with mathematical symbols. I stopped him to remind him that I was an ordinary manager, not a mathematician. After a long pause he said, 'I don't understand what I've done well enough to explain it in nontechnical language.'

Unless people can express themselves in ordinary English, they don't know what they are talking about.
