Language, like programming skill or physical muscles, develops under use. Failure to extend beyond quotidian usage and trepidation over sesquipedalian terms will result in atrophy.
Someone probably learned a new word today here. Or was reminded of an unfamiliar one.
And yes, there's virtue as well in clarity. Sometimes that comes from precision.
Of course, like programming, there's also something to be said for adhering to readability guidelines. ;)
It was easy enough to suss out the meaning based on context.

But it wasn't more precise.
Get a load of this retarded asshole.
