This is not the problem here.

One can also note that some seem to be embracing an idea according to which, "if they don't understand, the problem must be in the message" - which is differently but equally worrisome.

The highest concern for everyone reading this thread has been your pompous writing style (think in SNR terms if the word "pompous" is too loaded/offensive)

But feel free to believe everyone is lying and only you know the truth.



You have no reason to be "«concerned»" for the "«pompous writing style»", while there is every reason to be concerned from people's inability to read, and for people blaming lack of understanding on the speaker, and for the inability to carry on a discussion constructively, and for the gratuitous dismissals. As paramount concerns.


About Signal-to-Noise ratio: actually, the style is such because the purpose is the opposite, meant to be "signal dense".
