Wow, great way of removing context and nuance in a field that requires context and nuance

  Is that not provided elsewhere by the report? I'm not against precision of language, and I don't think parent's example was the best, but over-specificity is often a bastion of people who are not sure what they are saying. "This is not necessarily a detail of relevance, and it is duplicated in the data, but I noticed it and am remarking on it to show that I did not fail to notice this, even if it does not seem to have material importance to this experiment, whose audience should be able to interpret the data for themselves and understand this. However, I have written this to the limit of length and parsable complexity, yet it cannot be said whether I have overstated or understated anything. I am the James Joyce of science, and I justify this part of my value through superficial prolixity." I blame all those years of 1000-word and 5-paragraph essays.
