Tbh with you i dont Understand Most Wikipedia articles. Either im too dumb or they are too difficultly written, ununderstandable. Maybe both?

And the Thing is im even smart and still dont Understand Wikipedia articles. How the fuck can a nigger from Zimbabwe Understand them then?
 
Why are Wikipedia's technical articles impossible to understand?
Like every rational human being, I love being able to use Wikipedia to get basic familiarity with a wide range of topics. However, why is it that nearly all technical articles (science, IT, math, etc) are written in impenetrable language? I understand that topics like quantum mechanics and axiomatic set theory are inherently complex, but isn't it logical in introductory paragraphs to try to dumb down the language (i.e. explain to someone like they're five) so that a layman can get a basic understanding
