You shouldn't feel dumb because his use of big words has been deliberately placed for his argument to sound smarter. An English professor would probably rip this passage apart. In language simplicity is best because you want your reader to understand and relate to what you are saying; and not feel intimidated by what you are saying. I, for one, could always use words such as "indefatigable" and "hypercholesterolemia." However, I'd rather have my audience understand me and relate to me, so I don't.
