The author concludes that science publications should not attempt to reach a wide audience because doing so would require sacrificing scientific accuracy.

The author describes two possible courses of action for scientific publications to take, each with its own negative consequence. In claiming that the publications should sacrifice their popular appeal in order to preserve scientific accuracy, he’s assuming that accuracy is more important than popular appeal.

This conclusion would be helped by a principle that states that it’s more important for a publication to be scientifically accurate than it is for it to appeal to a general audience.

Leads to a different conclusion. The author claims that science publications should make no attempt to reach a wide audience, not that they should balance popular appeal with scientific accuracy.

The author claims that science publications should make no attempt to reach a wide audience, so it doesn’t matter how hard it would be to explain scientific developments to them.

The consequence of reaching a wide audience is scientific inaccuracy, so this principle helps justify the author’s conclusion that publications should not sacrifice scientific accuracy in an attempt to reach such an audience.

Leads to a different conclusion. This principle would justify the publications sacrificing scientific accuracy in order to reach a wide audience, which is the opposite of what the author concludes.

Leads to a different conclusion. The author claims that publications should not try to reach a wide audience, not that their writing must contain some metaphors.
