I have no idea how google’s algorithms work. If they’re counting syllables per word or evaluating vocabulary then ranking as advanced is evidence for both the claim that we use too much jargon and the claim that we talk about difficult and complex ideas. But that isn’t the only evidence to consider. We’ve both read much of Less Wrong and can evaluate the difficulty and complexity of the ideas we discuss here. Do you not think we talk about difficult and complex ideas here? If so, what makes you think the ‘advanced’ rating is a product of poor writing rather than attempts to grapple with complexity?
I bet my use of the word ‘algorithm’ in my first sentence increases our rating. Would you like to suggest another word to replace it?

‘method’, or maybe ‘system’
