Conveying meaning as clearly as possible implies direct, simple prose when you assume the reader shares a language game (per Wittgenstein) with you. Thus a theoretical physicist can communicate a fact about field theories to a colleague very directly, but that communication is hardly clear to a layman. What do you do if what you are working on is meaning that doesn't fit the usual language game, and part of the work is seeing what varying the language game can do to meaning? Then there is no direct prose. There is a fabrication of an artifact that leads the reader experientially to this new language game in all its nuance.
