Consider the Federal Register notice announcing the August 14/15 meeting of the FDA's Risk Communications advisory committee:
"The committee will meet for presentations and discussion of the scientific basis for translating principles of risk communication into practice in situations of emerging and uncertain risk."
And this is the committee that's mandated to create clear ways to discuss risk communications (or as it's cool to say in DC "Plain English").
I think it was Albert Einstein who said something along the lines of, "If you can't explain a complicated topic in a simple way -- then you don't really understand it."
