Whom are you thinking of? Aristotle? Kant? Hegel? Wittgenstein?
We analytical types pride ourselves on taking special pains to be super clear. Some of us write rather well. Yet there is no consensus, for example, on what is Quine's thesis of the indeterminacy of meaning or Davidson's anomalous monism, or exactly what is mweant by functionslism, or what Rawls mweans by the difference principle. Fact is, deep hard thought is hard to express well and clearly and misreadings are inevitable. Lots of highly competent thinkers invite them.
