Engineers have to dumb down everything to explain it to their laymen neighbors or coworkers. They are trained from the start to make themselves unintelligible, and to only know what they need to know (everything else is found in a book somewhere).
Physicists don't have to dumb down anything, because they have such a clear and deep understanding that they can explain it, at full power, from first principles such that nearly anyone can understand it. (note, this does NOT work on internet forums...)
Heehee! Such a fun thread!
