The article was a fun read, but for readers who don't have time, I believe Orwell's essay "Politics and the English Language" describes the same problem with marginally fewer words. My favorite excerpt, though, really nails exactly the BS your article mentioned:
Peterson's writings are worse than Orwell's own parodies.
Basically, he regularly violates the Maxim of Manner.
Oh the irony lol
Iβd not heard of this essay, Iβll have to check it out. Thank you for sharing.

I actually prefer this version, it allows you to separate quotes without having to put anything in between.
