I think "if you ignore nonlinearities in the equations" is one of those things that seems clear and simple to the expert while mystifying the uninitiated. I'm not sure whether this is fixable by adding a few more words of motivation. "In fact, if you assume all the changes are small so that deviations from linearity are small enough to ignore ..." or something. It may be that anyone for whom that would be enough would actually be OK with the current wording, though. -- g
