If you properly understand something you should be able to explain it precisely to a lay person using straightforward language. Depending on the level of detail, it may take awhile, but nothing need be lost. Jargon is a useful shorthand to accelerate communication between experts, all to often employed to buttress the position of the insecure or gatekeepers
There are topics which just can’t be explained without prerequisites. Maybe you can get across the gist or a flavour if it, but not the core ideas in a sufficient level of detail to distinguish your area of research to that of a colleague working on something similar.
Those prerequisites then mean that “it may take a while” in practice means “it may take several lecture courses”
