So, you'd like only a select group of experts - an elite, if you will - to interpret and explain things to the masses.

This is the same argument as people who are anti-vax because people should "do their own research" rather than trusting experts.

People who know what they're doing in a specific technical area should parse highly technical primary sources and disseminate information to those less technically inclined.

I don't care what your grade-level is: it has no bearing on your ability to correctly parse technical documents.
