I just want to add that I agree with you, Robin, but I do also think that ちょっと難しい is a particularly representative and 
famous example of this indirectness.

While it is a cultural thing, it's also idiomatic language usage. I think it should be noted.

I think this is just one of countless examples of Japanese indirectness. It's a cultural thing and I don't think it should be recorded in a dictionary.
