There's such a thing as being too clear.
Clear Description is a heavy price to pay for pomposity.
Or the reverse.

We snap shutters. We stick the print in the developer.  Who are we trying to
impress beyond that?

We (photographers) don't need to impress anybody under a guise of descriptive clarity.
There's always room for Jello. But there's not always room for Gelatin Silver whatever.
