In discussion of the author, one point that I agree is “It would make academics better researchers and better writers, though, if they had to translate their thinking into plain language.” It would probably also mean more people, including colleagues, would read their work. I think as the same time using the easy word may be able to solve the problems with using long words needlessly as well.
So I still support the thing that I agree that using a complex and unclear language in writing or research and writing for make directly point to the politics is improperly. I am not saying all of writing should not have opaque wring style but just mean don’t write it too, if want convey to general people to study and interesting.
