I didn't see any slight. I prefer it, for example, when a doctor uses less medical words when discussing things. I'm not a doctor, I don't know the vocab and jargon as well as he does.

Would you rather he just use a bunch of technical terms and jargon she won't understand? That seems pretty condescending.
