Nuanced communication usually doesn't work at scale

That's an interesting quotation, but it doesn't sound like the problem with Curio's was too much nuance. If anything, very plain (albeit clear) speech has a lack of nuance.

I don't think I've seen an author's point demonstrated so neatly in the comments ever before.

I think GP is trying to make the opposite point, that Calvus (not Curio) introduced too much nuance in his speech, making himself a less effective orator.

That whole paragraph is almost exclusively about Calvus; Curio is only mentioned once, in passing.

So he's just a curio?

(Hm, is that the etymology?)
