Novels are much better.

It's nothing to do with whether they're intelligent or not; it's to do
with whether they are going to understand what you are talking about.
This justifies using simpler or possibly wrong terms in order to get
the point across. As they pick things up, you adjust your language
accordingly. This is what any good teacher should do.

About 40 years ago I had an operation and, afterwards, asked the
surgeon what he had done. He responded as you do: he described the
procedure as if he were talking to another surgeon. A completely
useless response, IOW.
