If I understand you correctly, I would say its not that the concise description or definition is hard, but getting there is and so is getting a full understanding and the implications of those descriptions and definitions. I have read many a concise definition, that I found hard to understand, because the road the expert took to get there and all that they forgot is hidden and I have not yet traveled and learned from the road they traveled.
