A good vocabulary isn't just about coming off as very clever or showing off to people that you know more than they do. The purpose of a vast and nuanced lexicon in a language is to be able to convey shades of meaning and precision that enable the best possible communication. Different words have have infinitesimally small differences that many people might not be able to elucidate if you asked them, but even if they don't know the words very well themselve,s they appreciate mastery when they see it deployed in the form of the perfect linguistic construction.
Good writing and great speech thus require a good vocabulary, not to intimidate or to dominate, but to include and to communicate. The goal is to be able to pitch one's speech at the level that is absolutely right for that audience, and to be able to make use of all the linguistic and rhetorical tools such as analogy, simile, metaphor, emphasis, that a language can possibly offer. The long and short of it? If you want to be a great speaker or writer, you don't just need to be good at using the tools. You need a lot of tools to start with - and words are the building blocks of that.
