, it may make sense for a second-order Informer to be deliberately eloquent if the issue has already been obscured by an eloquent Persuader

If you actually want to inform, being deliberately eloquent helps the information stick, helps to inform, so even without Persuaders in the world, you should still wish to be eloquent.
