Too verbose. A point that you seem to be miss is that typical scientists and engineers concisely express such things in mathematical language and few words. Their success is often measured by their ability to manipulate material reality and get payed for it. In contrast, a philosopher typically measures success by peer approval and not so much get payed for it. As I recall, the philosophy teachers at Illinois Institute of Technology, circa 1982, were the lowest payed teachers, but, had an unusual perk of being allowed to openly serve and drink liquor during department meetings on campus.
