Because even if you can read you need context, or you need to be able to identify what a new word means. Reusing a shared vocabulary is useful.

I don't understand. If you already agree on a shared vocabulary, then you're not using new words. Context is more present in the long-form un-pre-processed text than in the short-form text.
