I generally agree with the post but I miss a paragraph pointing at that precise language can be (and it is extensively used to) bullshit. It is hinted in “How many shares of a company you own is vaguer than what percentage you own”. And also, as others say, vague language does not imply attempting to obscure reality.
I find also that nuanced language is much more precise and less bullshit than very direct language.
