Insofar as reading and writing goes, scientific names are good at avoiding ambiguity and can make it easier to communicate.
However, I’m not sure this necessarily holds true when speaking. From Where Do I Start With Pronouncing Scientific Names?, it’s clear that there’s not a single way to say the scientific name.
In my experience, this leads to a back-and-forth where both people say the name to see if they agree what’s being talked about, sometimes more than once, to the point that it’s sometimes easier to point out the spelling from a book or iNat taxa page.
Granted, I’m an amateur so maybe I’m really messing up the pronunciation.
