My difficulty with Eliezer's style is mostly due to my weak scientific background, which I'm slowly working to improve.

EDIT: Further explanation: If I need directions, I can look at a satellite view of my town because I'm familiar with the territory via other experiences. A person who lacks those experiences benefits more from a simple street map, even if lacks specificity (individual trees, for example, are not represented).
