Eh. I'll definitely say that at least one of my favorite authors (as in, scientists) to read is being deliberately obscurantist about how he writes his papers. Or at the very least, he's using all his own vocabulary and terminology in each paper to push his favorite philosophical interpretation of his own work. This makes him extraordinarily difficult for other people in his field to understand, which actually means people don't engage with his ideas when they rightly should.
But he certainly gets to publish a lot with his own favorite colleagues and push his philosophy!
