But that’s not what I argued. Someone else argued that there was so no need to simply complex concepts for a jury without explaining why that would be an exception to all the established best practices of writing and communication. Then everyone is asking me to justify and offer citations. The burden isn’t on me. It’s generally established that effective communication is that which is comprehensible. Saying “just say the unvarnished complexity” is an exception that should require explanation

We have examples of both being wrong, because judges and juries are not all the same and experts exist. There's also a way to take time to explain complex ideas in simpler terms, that's what most of a case like this ends up being. The "Clear rhetoric" part of these things is only a relatively brief portion delivered during opening and closing, the rest involves presenting and interrogating evidence. As the also says his is a case in which the jury only plays an advisory role and the judge will make a final ruling. The judge in this case is Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers who has extensive experience in complex cases involving big tech, so she's going to be far less impressed with clever wording than solid legal work.
