That's an interesting quotation, but it doesn't sound like the problem with Curio's was too much nuance. If anything, very plain (albeit clear) speech has a lack of nuance.
- Tronno 5y agoI think GP is trying to make the opposite point, that Calvus (not Curio) introduced too much nuance in his speech, making himself a less effective orator.
- def_true_false 5y agoI don't think I've seen an author's point demonstrated so neatly in the comments ever before.

- usefulcat 5y agoThat whole paragraph is almost exclusively about Calvus; Curio is only mentioned once, in passing.
- CRConrad 5y agoSo he's just a curio? (Hm, is that the etymology?)
