But yeah, I tend to agree, I think Tycho tries just a wee bit too hard to use words us regular humans would never use. Tycho is the worst kind of idiot: an idiot who thinks he is a genius.
If I ever end up teaching a writing course, I will definitely use some of his editorials as samples of bad writing. Good writing is clear, forceful, and to the point. Contrast those standards with the average Tycho post, which is always wordy, obtuse, and filled with usage errors. I think Tycho genuinely believes that the more he pads out his writing, and the more he hits the thesaurus, the better the result. Unfortunately, the result is poorly written, pretentious drivel that only impresses the marginally literate.
