> Good writing is about expressing and transferring ideas.

Not everything is a scientific paper. Good writing can also be art. There's a reason why Shakespeare wrote his 18th sonnet and not just "I think you're very beautiful".

I didn't say it was. I said that writing is about expressing transferring ideas.

>Good writing can also be art.

True. And good art is about... expressing and transferring ideas.

Shakespeare had an exceptionally large vocabulary. He constantly used words his audience / readers didn't understand. And that's okay with you, because he was "expressing and transferring ideas". Except that it's not okay with you, because he didn't "use the words that [his] readers will understand and that express [his] ideas the clearest".
