Yes and no. Social life is complicated, and you can't analyze it all in words of one syllable using only simple sentences. There are contradictions, shadings, nuances, and dynamics. Sure there are levels of obscurity and/or "clarity," but it's still going to take time and effort to understand things. As the man said, there's no royal road to science. The clear and the simple often derive their clarity and simplicity from their congruence with the status quo, and, as another man said, "we have no predominant interest in the status quo as such." Right?
