For a complex topic, what would be a better alternative?
Having a 1000000000 word article that contains all the alien language (jargon) and basic education needed to build up to the explanation?
A short, simple, and completely wrong explanation?
Thats what makes the wiki format so great. When I have no clue what a word means, it's probably blue and I can just follow the link to find out. The problem arises when I'm 20 links in and realize "yeah maybe there's a reason people have phd's in this topic".
