That was laughable. But I also don't think much of clunky pacing.
It really depends. Like you say, if only experts are going to be annoyed, it's probably worth it. The problem is that it can be hard to gauge what facts are generally known and what aren't. What is common knowledge can change very quickly. All it takes is a leap in technology or an unexpected global news story.
