[Bhavin Desai]  Don't be too harsh.  Take a similar mundane example. 
When I was doing my MPhil in Mathematical Logic, I got asked by BSc 
students as well as school/college students about my work.  There was no 
way that I could explain multi-valued functorial propositional logic to 
them.  When I did try, they did not understand.  To paraphrase your 
wording slightly, they probably felt that "it was meant to maintain the 
ignorance of the public and promote mathematical dogma".
