One critical part of good communication is clarity, is it not? Why should we believe the very being that gave us sense, reason and the very capacity to communicate would be such a poor communicator?
Perhaps the answer to your question is caught up in the answer to the question "if god really wanted to communicate with us at all and really had something important to say to us, why would he make this a one time event - and pick a time and place when the written word was not likely to last many generations. That this god really wanted to, or even could, communicate with us at all is highly suspect. It may be that we find ourselves more special than this god does.
