@Morghur what we can see here though is that he could have a silly little comic if he followed the advice that would work.

Which is what leading me to say "it's not that their ideas can't be explained simply" ( which they can't ) - but that to them, simple explainations of their ideas will only invite people picking on them because they are 'wrong' - so it is better to have something too wordy which explains in detail, so they can't be nitpicked.
