The better the vocabulary, the more precise and efficient the
communication.

You speak with words your audience can understand, if you have the
mental capacity to do so.


It's impossible to know another person's vocabulary level

You must have thought you knew, since you were talking about it.


unless he indicates his level in some way.

I thought that's how you knew.


People with large vocabularies have a natural tendency to use
those vocabularies to the fullest and do not necessarily realize
it when and if they exceed the recognition vocabularies of their
interlocutors.

A good writer knows his audience and speaks appropriately. He should
know how to step down his vocabulary and maybe use more words in the
process, as needed.

Sort of like a big/strong man doesn't physically handle everyone the
same in every situation.
