You're probably mostly objecting to the passive voice, which is a reasonable stand to take in scientific writing. He uses passive voice three times in these two sentences alone.
- jackcarter 10y agoUsing "to be" isn't necessarily the passive voice. The author doesn't use the passive voice in those sentences. http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/passive-voice/ http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/passive-voice/
- jnbiche 10y agoYou're absolutely right, I misread those. Passive voice would be "to be drawn", "to be read", etc. Thank you.
