I don't think you're familiar with Orwell, and the meaning of Orwellian.

Did my comment read to you like I didn't know what real life societies he was writing about? I explicitly described how they fit into my point exactly in order to make people not reply with comments like yours.

I see now that my failure was in assuming an educated reader. And you're right that having an accurate model of the reader is indeed important for clear communication.
