You say that from the standpoint of readers at this HN blog page, but this blog post is the top blog post and first one seen on https://blog.ethereum.org/. Many people who want to understand what they are looking at prior to purchase would look at this page and quickly close it, never to invest using etherium.

Do you download binary utilities for execution, when every page on the website (or app store) is filled with made-up jargon? That's the issue that I see here.

Ethereum.org is owned by the Ethereum Foundation (hence the EF in the url) which exists to support the ecosystem from a technical and business perspective, not convince users to use Ethereum or invest in it.

Members of the Ethereum Foundation have been critical of Ethereum and called out overzealousness in the past, warning that the price might not be rational.

There's countless examples of niche jargon on the front page of HN every day. Sometimes it has to do with Rust, or Zig, or Protobuf, or an obscure file spec. Today the jargon happens to be about blockchain consensus engineering.

Nobody is talking about Jargon on the front page of HN.
