It's not about saying something more *simply*, it's about
saying something more *clearly*.
Whenever you get into an argument, there's what you mean to
say, what you actually say, and what the other guy hears.
If you leave it up to the other guy to draw his own
conclusions about what you're trying to say, those
conclusions will usually be the ones most favorable to his
previous position. Being clear about what your argument
IS, is actually most useful because it prevents a listener
from responding to the argument he THINKS you're trying to
make. That other argument is usually easy to disprove.

Lawyers are indeed smart.
Clever enough to understand anything no matter how it is worded if it supports
their preferred conclusion.
Clever enough also to misunderstand anything that reaches a conclusion they do
not like. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
