Do they indeed?
Firstly, as I think is pretty much the case for all masteries of a
particular type, you'll often see masters indulging in pointless doodles
and plays that summon all the extent of their mastery. Kind of a
self-gratification for having had to go through the trouble of acquiring
the knowledge -- as such a very understandable feat which I don't think
there is anything inherently wrong with.
Secondly, I fail to see a necessary correlation between greater command
of a tongue and being able more effectively to make oneself understood.
Partly because that greater command might open access to the expression
of more complex thoughts, partly because it might cleanse one's speech
of the inaccuracies or inadequacies that prevail in the vulgar.
