Adding: words like "nuanced" can be cheats. Don't tell me soneone's voice or tone is "nuanced". Show me how. Don't tell me someone's expression is nuanced. Euw. Show me. It's a tell word, a word implying subtlety that was never shown, and he used a bunch of others like that, so that the aggregate feeling was a bag of tricks or sleight of hand, kind of, posturing as sophistication and intelligence without actually doing the work of showing me how.
