Reminds me of grad school where there was literally only one correct way to write a particular sentence or paragraph in a manuscript according to multiple advisors over the years. Frequently that way is synonymous with what was originally written, but apparently the original doesn't have the correct "feel," or whatever. For a physical sciences paper, where no one is a particularly good writer.
Basically, communities seem to get into vocabulary and sentence structure ruts. Deviation means your reviewers are going to give you more shit, at least indirectly.
