"Show forbearance and benevolence and love to one another. Should any one among you be incapable of grasping a certain truth, or be striving to comprehend it, show forth, when conversing with him, a spirit of extreme kindliness and good-will. Help him to see and recognize the truth, without esteeming yourself to be, in the least, superior to him, or to be possessed of greater endowments." Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah
Whether in writing or through spoken language, context and nuiance are often more important than what is being said. They speak louder than words. I can understand why they are so important - they have impact.
