Is there a term for that phenomenon where someone gets so far into a topic that they become unaware of how much contextual knowledge they have about it?
Then they write some inscrutable technical docs, use unexplained acronyms, or tell a story about “he”, "she’ and/or “they” where you have no idea who they’re talking about.
Edit: is there no way to get a thumbnail to render this, can the image be found and linked to rather than page?
Edit2: can we get a bot that autoconverts links and stuff to this, people would just have to remember to input the image url not the page in which it appears
I see the image!

There probably is an official term, but “bad communicator” also works.
I would say that someone is “in too deep” or something about “contextually saturated” or “contextually normalised”.
My best guess is the curse of knowledge or curse of expertise: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/498010/lack-of-understanding-another-persons-lack-of-understanding
