I suspect the bracketed note applies to "sophisticated" to distinguish it
from the sense of "advanced" (as in "This engineering is quite
sophisticated").

The original request on the KLI page (which I understand MO was provided

due to being particularly elaborate or due to arbitrarily culturally valued
attributes. 'We are dinner at a fancy restaurant two nights ago.' 'Only a
sufficiently sophisticated individual will appreciate the performance.'"
