I will stay out of the politics (for now) but your last point about going the other way from simplification is what people avoid. People intuitively try to spoon feed their message to the audience but deeper understanding is often lost as the information comes too easily. No pain, no gain. A little (or a lot of) disfluency might lose a few of the audience but those that stay work to obtain it and therefore are more likely to retain it. Combined with multiple layers and perspectives, one can throw them into the mental deep end. Very valuable. Unfortunately for many and seemingly increasingly more, they would rather avoid the discomfort. They miss a lot of what is interesting, important and beneficial due to it. Good post mate.
