Someone who swears quite often conveys less emotion when swearing because these conventions obviously mean little to them, while someone who rarely swears conveys a great deal with a simple "sh*t!".

Exactly, that's my point right there. Used TOO often it doesn't make any sense. Swear words should be SWEAR words. Once people are TOO comfortable with them, they lose their power, or 'conveyed emotion', as you put it.
A last resort word. Or a surprise word. But not a word in regualar rotation. Which is what I think this guy means. It sounds juvinille to hear one use words like that all the time and they do lose their meaning.
