Bourgeois academics love a confused and disjointed salad of words, it’s even worse than some court decisions I have to read that drag to get to the point, and judges complain if I base my client’s request with more than 3 paragraphs.
The French Theory authors (foucault, et al) who were CIA sponsored, actually had a format that was intentionally convoluted, using specific words to sound important, that they could plug ideas into. This was a key reason they could write a book in three months, they were actually being pushed by Wisner’s wurlitzer to pump out volumes in order to clog up the young French radicals. (Like they had a simple idea that was unimportant but after running it through their format it would take up 130 pages and become part of “reading required to engage in discussion about anything” so only professional academics could participate in discussions with any certainty)
However, sometimes you need to write something complex to get complex ideas across.
Also, in my experience, judges are pretty generally idiots who are far more biased than most laypeople realize.
