This kid is trying for use words to impress us with his brilliance. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't quite use these words properly.

Precisely. His misuse of language creates confusion for his reader. Throwing words into a pot and stirring does not create clarity. It simply leaves the reader unclear as to the writer's intent. For example: If I say, "It was intentionally deliberate for me as per the consequences of the issue to propose solutionary responses." You have no idea what I am saying. I have deliberately used words in a way that confuses rather than clarifies. I might better have said, "I really tried to offer helpful ideas." One is pretentious. The other is sincere.

There is a lot of this going around in academia these days. Many so-called "scholarly" papers, especially in the humanities, are so poorly written, so filled with arcane baffle-gab nonsense, as to be difficult for anyone to understand.
