Thing is whilst I knew what you were talking about, my friend who prompted me to look at it did not.

It's something I oft struggle with myself in my writings, is taking the point of view that the audience might not understand something, to the point they might not even know WHAT to Google. That's why brought my friend to me with questions.

I think you dumbed it down too much into vagaries, limiting your audience. It's the trap of false simplicity, something I had to break myself of decades past.

You can oversimplify to the point the task can no longer be accomplished easily if at all. In this case you talked about things without explaining them. That might seem like you're lowering the bar of entry to the audience, but you may in fact be complicating it for those who try to implement it.

Perhaps a followup / companion article explaining the "how"? That way you have one for each audience.

It's why back in the '90's when I started going into book stores everything was suddenly so "dumbed down" I was walking past shelf after shelf, running my finger over cover after cover muttering "user crap, user crap, user crap" looking for the one or two books I might actually glean two or three pages of useful data from.

Folks don't know how good they have it today with search. :D
