Introduction of this article needs to be more accessible
The introduction to this article is too technical and may have the effect of putting readers off. Per the guideline Lead section, "It is even more important here than for the rest of the article that the text be accessible. Consideration should be given to creating interest in reading the whole article." Please can an editor with sufficient knowledge rewrite the introduction avoiding specialised terminology and placing the subject in a familiar context. Thank you. --~
