The problem you mention here… is definitely a problem I face every time I write a blog. Unfortunately, I don’t know what to answer and I don’t even know whether there is any good answer at all (there is probably none).

I personally like to avoid enforcing too many simplifications, as this is how important facts are often put under the carpet. Doing so could hit us very strongly much later (the original papers on the 2021 Nobel prize in physics on climate change are good examples on why we should not always over-simplify as much as we could).

However, it is important to simplify a bit, as you said, in order not to lose our audience. What I found out is that no matter how much I simplify, there are always people complaining that this is too technical and people happy with the content. This is the most puzzling part :)

Moreover, most of these problems are non existent when we discuss with people live, in front of a good drink for instance (science cafes are cool!). Of course, the situation changes in the context of a blog. Here, there is simply no way to tune the speech depending on the audience understanding and how people get lost or not.

Because of the above I decided to keep the following structure in my blogs: simpler first and last sections that are sufficient to get the main ingredients of the blog (and learn some physics in the process). Then the middle sections are more technical. This way of writing makes me happy, and does not seem to have affected the readership. At least I have never got any negative feedback (it is maybe about time :D ).

What I mean here is that you probably need to follow a path that makes you happy. The rest… well it is less important. Personally, I find all your posts very fine. They allow to discuss some cool physics, and with this respect their purpose is filled. Clarifying things like I do once in a while is not a big issue at the end of the day. The comment section is there for this purpose, and can be read by anyone who would like to know more.

In short, I do not see why you should change anything. But this is only my own opinion, which is worth what it worths...
