Sorry if I'm not including everyone here.
I think we need more jargon in neuroscience (mind/brain).
Couple of examples. Examine the mess that is the debate about "consciousness" because (in part) so many senses are mixed, including "sentience", "awareness", etc.
Or the fact that we use basically folk psychological terms all the time. So even if qualify what I mean by attention* in one of my papers, using a term that is used in a dozen ways will surely lead to confusion.
Our mind/brain field is highly technical, but the language surprisingly accessible to most people. That's a problem not because we want to be "distinguished professors" but because of the complete terminological confusion we inhabit!
I couldn't read all the discussion, so apologies if this was already discussed and debunked... 🙂
