I would add that constantly analyzing how thoughts are worded is not
going to bring very far. We are quite heterogeneous as a community, so
fixing ourselves on a specific sentence is counter-productive on the
long run. It is a technique often used on these ML's when someone
wants to "win a point" for the sake of it, and honestly it does not
look very nice. Let's look at the content, and, if really necessary,
discuss it. The wording could be not ideal for a list of reason, and
it is probably better not to assume it was intentional, if it's not
clearly so.

My 2 cents.

Best,
