try to / try

[I'm all for ambiguity in speech - it makes people think - and I use it intentionally all the time. I'm also in favour of the joy of elegant, precise writing. I do not have to try to use "try to" instead of "try and": it looks terrible.]

I don't understand the sentence : < don't have to try to use "try to" instead of "try">

Might I interpret it in the way that "try" is more ambiguous than "try to" in the fact that the speaker likes ambiguity in speech and said that it (try to) looks terrible?
