LSM presumes that difficult language is equal with greater spiritual content. If I read a KJV, there are plenty of passages where I might struggle with difficult language. That doesn't mean that the KJV is more 'spiritual' or accurate, it means that it contains language and phrasing that is reminiscent of 400 years ago. But this is exactly the kind of trap that many people fall into, not just in the LC, but outside too. Ideas like esoteric=spiritual, difficult=superior, etc.
