- klodolph 4y agoIf you try to express a complex idea directly, in practice, your audience often misses the point or misunderstands it. The complex delivery has in it redundancy. It approaches the idea from different angles. It connects the idea to other ideas. (That's also a misuse of the word "sophistry", by the way.)
