Somebody tries too hard to sound smart, it usually means they don't understand something.
It's easy to spew gobledegook, and then portray other people are stupid because they don't get it.
It's a lot harder to explain so others understand.
No offense, Bill, but philosophy seems like it's about taking something simple, and making it as convoluted as possible, and nearly impossible to understand. And those guys wonder why they don't get invited to parities...
