I have an unfortunate tendency to initially overestimate the intelligence of people I talk to. Stories and pointers that I consider trivially obvious seem to be too complex for most of the people here.
I suspect you tend to overestimate the transparency of your writing rather than the intelligence of the reader, and tend to underestimate the inferential distance you need to cover to communicate rather than the complexity of what you’re communicating.
