Concision and precision work at cross-purposes. When the situation
being described is one of some complexity, it is preferable to use
the multisyllabic terms that precisely fit rather than to run the
risk of over-simplistic errors in one's expression merely to dumb
down one's vocabulary. (Lotta big words there, Clem. Must be
nonsense, 'cause I don't have the sense to make sense of it).
