One could argue that not being aware of standard economic terminology or the nuances of the concepts behind it contributes to being unable to discuss economic theory well.
Of course there’s a shitload of things a person should really know but realistically can’t all at the same time; economic theory isn’t special in that regard.
and this is the case in literally every field. to start discussing anything seriously, there needs to be well-defined terminology and that terminology will often re-use existing words while also deviating from how laypeople may use or understand them.
