The audience for this piece is already very familiar with RAG. I don't want articles discussing e.g. OLED screens telling me what the acronym is - that would be a sign that the article is far below the level that I need.

There's a middle-ground where you write out ambiguous acronyms ("rag" is an English word) and not unambiguous ones ("oled" only has one commonly-used meaning).

I found the piece interesting, once I worked out what it was about. I strongly disagree that taking time to spell out acronyms should be taken as a signal that an article is low level.

A hyperlink to Wikipedia would have solved that issue.
