semantic nuance -

而又 simply means 'and'. Yes, you can take out 而 and use 又 alone in this case.










skylee -

而又 = and also

From these complicated and also contradicting facts and statistics it is difficult to reach a
conclusion.

I have some different opinion.

而又 contains the meaning that the two words connect by it are contradict each other.Such
as:古老而现代的城市/熟悉而陌生的面孔。Even chinese can make mistake when they
using this conjunction,that is,connecting words which only have coordinate relation.But
"错综复杂" contains the meaning of "tangel/jumble",so it contradict "相互矛盾".That's why
I think you couldn't omit "而" in here.

It's just a personal opinion.
