For what it's worth, I greatly enjoy Eliezer's style, and usually find him quite clear and understandable (except maybe some older texts like the intuitive explanantion of Bayes and the technical explanation of technical explanations).
My difficulty with Eliezer's style is mostly due to my weak scientific background, which I'm slowly working to improve.
EDIT: Further explanation: If I need directions, I can look at a satellite view of my town because I'm familiar with the territory via other experiences. A person who lacks those experiences benefits more from a simple street map, even if lacks specificity (individual trees, for example, are not represented).
