There's a big difference between having to read something multiple times in order to make sense of the more difficult concepts, and having to reread it multiple times for it to make sense as written word.
There is a skill in writing about a highly specialised subject in a way that makes it intelligible for a non-specialist reader. That reader may still need to go back and reread it for all the ideas to settle in their mind, but they should get a sense of it on the first read. If they don't, then I'm sorry, but they're either reading something intended for a specialised readership, or the author has failed in their task.
You rattle off 'English Major' like it is an insult. As if concentrating on ideas and how we communicate them is a worthless endeavour. At the risk of being personal, this attitude explains a good deal about your own particular posting style. You have so many worthwhile ideas, but I so often skim them at a shallow read because your communication of those ideas is challenging to say the least.
