"Dumbing down" has tended to only cause problems for me, since if I'm too laconic and straightforward about a point, people will let their own biases color how they interpret my words, and their interpretations tend not to be as charitable as I'd like. It really is best nine times out of ten to just say what you're thinking in as few or as many words as comes naturally, with whichever words feel natural.
