- chairface 18y agoAre you implying that any parenthetical remark is out of bounds? It seems to me that "saying how great an article is" captures more of the intent of the prohibition than you suggest. That said, this particular parenthetical remark isn't all that great, albeit for reasons other than the one you cited.
