I know I said and personally do not want to get involved in the politics thread (lurking is much more fun and less stressful), but I have to ask....
Is that rule/quote supposed to be for the audience (In which case they must feel we are all dolts) or is it for the candidates because they don't want one of the candidates confusing the other?

I don't know if this is the reason, but the recognized guidelines when conducting social science surveys and interviewing is to not use words or sentences higher than 6th grade reading level.
