Where I think your argument falls flat is when you compare good teachers to bad ones.

Good teachers explain things so that students can understand - and explain the rakes.

Bad teachers put up walls of academic nonsense-speak - point at it with a laser - and expect you to know what they are teaching already.

Not all Academic Speech is "nonsense speak". For example - many students really learn the material from supplementary material (good academic speak) vs textbook (nonsense speak).

These examples show that you explain things well or poorly - explaining things poorly has a direct effect on humanity in the long run.
