I'm fine with the text up to this point.

This is pretty strong wording.  One of the points of doing use case
work is to enable discussions on a somewhat higher level that
requires less technical understanding than real participation in the
group would necessitate.

That said, I also agree that an average user won't be likely to
understand the note, and that we don't aim for that.

I'd probably just strike that paragraph.
