The other lesson from this study is that we should aim to
reduce complexity in our writing as much as possible. We
won't lose credibility by doing so. Our readers will
comprehend and retain our ideas more reliably. And we'll
have a higher likelihood of reaching more people.

If you can reduce complexity without eliminating precision, by all
means, reduce. Granted, that assumes that the only goal of writing is to transmit information.
This is a much harder task than most people realize.
