“…you have ironically demonstrated that a pre-existing functional understanding of the concepts at play is an important component of more advanced literacy.”
Translation: being familiar with more words/concepts gives you the ability to understand what was said on a deeper level.
This actually took more effort to write than the esoteric one, because I put in effort to make sure I’m not being esoteric for the sake of it. I’m not against using more vocab or higher level sentence structure, but the sentence I quoted is a perfect example of being verbose for no gain in understanding or richness in the sentence.
