Intellectualizing?

Hmm. Intellectualization is, I think, attempted by most people with education enough to support it, at least in circles that I've been in. Taking the definition as noted up top, it seems like many people use it as the fall-back debate style if they run out of actual points to make, and some people fluff things up using intellectualization just to stroke their own egos. It's an effective form of argument in many cases, and especially online, simply because you can run over people with word-power.

That being said, the most convincing arguments are often direct and uncluttered, simple and precise. Precision of language does go a long way, but it has to be uninhibited by the language surrounding it. You can make your point as pointful as you want, but if no one can find it, you may as well not make a point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
