I think they mean in the original document where a lot of words and phrases are unnecessarily within quotation marks.
I'd suggest removing pretty much all of the quotation marks to improve readability.
Edit: In the post in the thread here, the quotes around the word underpowered are being used as scare quotes [1] but the more you do that the less readable a document becomes because you're putting the cognitive load of inferring the intention of the punctuation onto the reader! I would recommend using quotes for quotations/speech only.
Edit2: PS Grammatical quibbles aside this is a good post, thanks for writing & submitting it!

- marcodiego 5y agoI think there's some misunderstanding here. I'm not LAC author. Just had a minor contribution a long time ago to make it easier to compile.
- dcminter 5y agoAh, I see. As you posted the link and as your post had a similar quirk to the original I assumed you were the author of that too. You can probably disregard my advice in that case.
- geocrasher 5y agoSame, I thought you were the author of the linked website for the same reason.
