4. Respondents identified their level of technical knowledge in the subject as:
73% Medium
19% Very high
8% Don’t know very much
They were then asked to comment on the appropriate level of technical language to be used
in the report and what would make the subject most useful and accessible to them. This
elicited lots of advice. Some comments contradicted each other: a small number wanted a
high level of technical language, very many more wanted a low level of technical language.
some others made suggestions for providing a report suitable for a mixed readership.
