I&#x27;ve been thinking about that quiet a bit lately. My two random thoughts:<p>1. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s strictly bad. More pressure to build coherent and precise arguments is good. It can indeed yield unnecessarily verbose language but I don&#x27;t think it has to? Inserting qualifiers etc. everywhere is just the most naive way of approaching it, like a newbie programmer using too many nested if statements.<p>2. We should assume all comments are charitable as well. They are no different, they&#x27;re just as likely to be misread.
