Note that in their descriptive paragraph that knowledge and understanding of the 100 words to them indicates superior command of the language.

Some of the words you would only encounter when dealing with the law and contracts, although some of the words have fallen into disuse.

I think with the need for advertisers and advertisement carrying content producers need to reach the widest possible audience possible emphasizes the dumbing down of media so that word lists need to be made up. To show that "O RLY" isn't the apex of the English language.

Then again, using these high-falutin' word to most common folk in normal conversation, you might as well be a sheep standing on it's hind legs from the looks they give you.
