Nah. It's either the 2nd biggest communication problem, or a side effect of a bigger problem. Depending on how you analyse it.

The biggest communication problem is that you always need to take into account that your reader might be braindead trash. That has two consequences:

1. Unless you expose your full train of thought, expect screeches like "I dun unrurrstand, SPOONFEED ME BASIC REASONING, REEE".

2. Unless you explicitly say something, expect some assumer to claim that you said the opposite. Bonus points if this is due to failure to take context into account, or even notice that the context is missing.

Both consequences have been training writers to idiot-proof their texts with big walls of unnecessary words. And that's the case here.
