>posting plain studies directly to non-industry forums is often not ideal. The studies are not written for a general audience and rely on jargon, shorthand, assumptions, and shared education that general audience readers are at least as likely to misinterpret as professional science writers.

I think there's an argument to be made that, regardless the specific subject of discussion, a forum like HN is not a "general" audience and can appreciate content that hasn't been watered down for the general masses.
