This seems to be about concrete language (as it says) rather than about programmers' habit of being 'painfully articulate', ie being really, to the point of overly, clear. I wonder though whether /that/ also makes you more credible.

Along similar lines, using E Prime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime) helps clarity and avoids /one/ source of conceptual fuzziness.
