I get what you're saying, and balancing it can be pretty difficult. I often find myself reading over a post before I should publish it when I realize that I use a work that most people probably won't understand. So then I spend some time to explain it, but quickly realize that the post is far too long and complex for regular people to enjoy, so then it's back to editing it once more!

One thing that's worth noting is that I personally feel much better about this balance now after having written on Steemit for a little over a year; I don't get stuck in the editing process for as long anymore, and the balancing comes more naturally now that I'm more tuned with my audience.
