Communication is possible if you talk to the right people. Keep in mind that the people who are actually working on the technology itself or it's adaptation and implementation are not hanging all day around on reddit or #speculation channels. I'm running an iota network statistics page, so people assume i'm more educated about iota and I receive clarification, technological or simple development questions on Slack on daily basis. I do answer all of them as best as I can, a lot of them have been evolved in pretty long discussions and I have received the same attitude from other iota community members.
