Here's a short story from one of my uni classes.
In this class, we have a semester long research project. The professor has 2 students who previously took the class present their old project to us. One man and one foid.
The man's topic was pretty complex, but he used diagrams and genuinely tried to explain the logic behind it. He didn't use unnecessary jargon, and overall, his presentation was pretty specific and digestible.
The foid was next. Through her entire presentation, she used as many buzzwords as she could. She never once explained a single idea in depth, and instead spent time talking about broad topics, making them sound as complex as possible. She also mentioned several times how she was now a graduate student, whereas the man just focused on his topic.
The really annoying thing is that normies seem to think the foid's presentation style is the more impressive one. For some stupid reason, they can't see through the fake intelligence-signaling, just like they can't see through virtue-signaling (or choose not to).
It's the same with journal articles. If you've spent any time reading them, you probably noticed this too. A lot of the time, simple ideas are expressed with the most amount of jargon possible. This is definitely something implicitly taught in college; the more complex you make something sound, the more impressive it is (and the higher your grade).

This applies to a ton of things. Once you take the time to learn a topic, you realize it's actually much less complex that it was made out to be.
An extreme example would a "deterministic finite automata". This was something taught about in my "theory of computation" class. Once you see how it works, it's actually the simplest fucking thing, despite the jargon used to explain it. They're just pretentious assholes.
Not to say that computing isn't complex overall; it has like 20 abstraction layers between the hardware and a user program (a number I completely made up), but even then, it's still made out as more complex that it really is.
