And I - that "wise" person - am a computer professional - systems analyst
and computer professional by trade for 20+ years.  The allusion I was making
was that all specialized fields have specialized jargon and (in the cases of
linguistics and programming) specilaized symbology, all which is not
gibberish but understandable given time and effort. True, most people have
no more interest in knowing how their computer operates than in how their
cell phone or DVD player does, but that's their choice.
