Context matters though. If you're in a place that has always been about baseball and you say "I have to admit I don't know what a pitcher is" it's going to be a bit weird for the regulars.

In this case though I guess it's just hard for me to recognise how much the focus of this site has shifted and that people can come here that seemingly have no interest in startups/tech/vc.

It's not a baseball place. It's equivalent to a sports place and one person won't know what a pitcher is and another won't know what a quarterback is. The scope of HN is quite large and diverse. Then again, even on baseball forums there will be a new person from time to time. It's ok.
