No, but. very rarely can you hear a man who expresses himself not only flamboyantly but also beautifully and accurately expressing his thoughts. it requires an outstanding mind. and simply flamboyantly to express himself every fool can. what a stupid phrase it is to be simpler! one must be oneself

It's more like the opposite, the man just can't express himself clearly.

Of course it's an indicator. How well a person can form sentences out of words is a direct indicator of his real mental abilities.

a sign of intelligence is knowledge, not the way you express your thoughts, sometimes quite stupid. some people are just trying to confuse, to lead a person away from the truth, and sometimes they make up phrases in advance. I would advise you to look not at the shell, not at the packaging, but at what's inside, i.e. the essence of the statement itself.

It's just that this man has nothing to do floridly, so he's floridly

Speaking, as you say, floridly, the person may absolutely not understand what he actually says. Maybe he heard somewhere a couple of beautiful phrases. and decided to show off his knowledge. and in fact he does not even understand WHAT he now says. and as to be simple. here the person should choose how to behave with people around him. so

A smart person speaks simply and clearly, while an incomprehensible one is vague and tedious.

I can't say I'm smart, but I'm not stupid, that's for sure. Usually people hide their essence behind such vitriol. They can be smart and scum and vulnerable and liars. That's why they say you have to be more sincere. Try to dissect them, they lie to themselves and there is no sense of sincerity when you think over every word.
