But some use similar expressions to those you noted in order to be factual. Some texts give a strong impression of fakery; some texts could give a wrong impression upon brutal use of raw Bayesian indicators. Signs orient, do not decide. Hints are not proof. Some patterns in LLM output can be caricatures of proper efforts (factuality for precision, when relevant, is one of them). So, people may write similarly to that. (Only, hopefully, well beyond veneer.)
