"promiscuity" instead of, say, "reduced incidence and duration of exclusive committed relationships",
I think "using one word instead of eight" is not very good evidence of motivated cognition. Maybe if Moss had said "sluttishness" instead you would have a point.
People want to tell everything instead of telling the best 15 words. They want to learn everything instead of the best 15 words. In this thread, instead post the best 15-words from a book you've read recently (or anything else). It has to stand on its own. It's not a summary, the whole value needs to be contained in those words.
I'll start in the comments below.
