In theory, asking them first makes sense, but when you're me, and your nerdy interest is in stuff like nuclear reactors and linux. You don't bother asking because 90% of the time, you either know who you're talking to, and can assume that they have a similar level of knowledge, or you assume they don't because you're pretty certain they don't and it works well 99% of the time.
