Very interesting topic. I think the diverse uses of jargon cover a very broad spectrum. There are fields, like education or economy, where most people think they are experts. They will be impressed rather than repelled by the corresponding jargon. If you talk natural sciences, on the other hand, the jargon is much less popular, and newspaper editors tend to put "so-called" in front of every technical term.
