And how can this be improved ? Should "normies" be pushed into RTFM or ELI5 ?

Not only is it normalized, but it's being weaponized. See, for example, the recent XZ backdoor which was equal parts hacking and a psi-op against the maintainer.

Just fyi it’s psy ops, short for psychological operations.
