Wait, as far as I understand, this is a wikipedia page for severely Learning disabled people? Great, since I know a lot of idiots.

It's for children, people with learning difficulties, and/or people still learning English. https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_write_Simple_English_pages

It's condensed content with simpler terms and plain English, which is helpful for those who aren't native speakers, like Gamba said.
Simple wiki also comes in handy in topics like biology, which can have very specialized vocabulary.

But in this context, the people who unironically believe in things like the moon not being a reflector can't be reasoned with. They won't change their mind no matter how simple English you explain the fact.
