I think that some scientists in particular theoreticians, need to occasionally use some popularising skills in order to justify their work to those who hold the purse strings. Quite often some or all of the people who fund the work have very little or no formal training in the relevant science being investigated but despite that need to get a reasonable idea of what the work entails and why the money is being spent.
