I feel like “talking confusedly” here means “talking in a way that no one else can understand”. If no one else can understand, they cannot give feedback on your ideas. That said, it is not clear that penalizing confused talk is a solution to this problem.
At least some people were able to understand though. This lead to a sort of social division where some people were much more willing/able to talk about certain social phenomena than other people were.
