Unfortunately, "plain English" is not sufficient to describe all physical phenomena, particularly with scales we aren't exposed to in day-to-day life.

If that's truly the case, which I doubt, people should seriously just stop trying to write physics articles for the layman.

By the way, scale has nothing to do with any of the objections I'm raising. It's not a problem of scale.
