No, I think Cyan is right. Have you read Eliezer’s “A Technical Explanation of Technical Explanation?” You may wish to write “A Lay Explanation of Lay Explanation.” I would certainly read and probably vote up such an article.
I don’t see, though, how I’m describing a different kind of explanation, or a distinctly lay one. The explanation standards I’m giving are what you would need to give for a technical explanation as well, in the case where your listener starts from a point of less knowledge about your field (i.e. a far nepocu).
The technical explanation only differs in terms of its greater detail (afaict—you may mean something else); it doesn’t change in type.
