Indeed! Chris, I believe the issue to actually be linguistic in nature. I also believe that complexity requires either a thin spread of attention with very little specialization or specialization which depends very much on always being in arm's reach of "someone smarter". Using a grand variety of intuitive, clever, and/or witty words to describe perspectives on a computer, in such a way that is so diverse that two individuals could use different words when describing the same operation that they have performed hundreds of times with dozens of people, and never once heard the other's choice of words when talking to each other.
There is a great diversity of specializations in computers, Because there is not a lot of ways looking at the same aspects. People will intuitively not necessarily learn about that which is relevant to what they do on a regular basis, but-rather they try to be creative with the aspects of programming that they look at so-as to differentiate themselves and not be carbon copies.
For many individuals without a creative appealing original introduction into computers, I believe they are deeply concerned about being less individual for starting a road headlong into being a computer savant and consistently running the same path as many others, and rather believe much as you pointed out that their ignorance is a blessing on others, and as I would add, for the reason that it forces computer savants to think creatively about creating a fresh perspective of an old well-known aspect of computers.
In other words, we need to rethink everything several times over without actually changing anything, then create a system where it feels easy to rethink things, form new perspectives, and do things differently. Also, create words which support analogies and help form the skeletons of new perspectives on computer design decisions.

Ah, sorry, I just realized that I may have spoke in a confusing manner. :X SecuShare, youbroketheinternet, and gnunet are all related. From what I understand, SecuShare and youbroketheinternet are focused on describing what gnunet is intending to solve and create. Sorry if that wasn't made clear!

If you want to reinvent the Internet, you might consider looking at the GNUnet project. I don't claim to be an expert on it or anything it talks about,
but
from what I understand about it, GNUnet is trying to reinvent the internet to
be
more decentralized, private, and efficient. Also look at http://secushare.org/ and http://youbroketheinternet.org/
thank you for making me aware of these last two: i knew about gnunet. there are many more, some focussed on secure distributed decentralisation of dns domain name registration (solving all of the known problems with current centralised dns registration in the process), then there's the babel protocol, tinc... all the *pieces* are there: they're just not in widespread use.
