Idk. You can always just leave out details to make things simpler. I could rewrite your version of the abstract to "Scientist find magma under volcanoes." Much simpler! Leaves out a lot from yours, but so did yours leave out a lot

People here comment, i think rightly, that they prefer directness. I see an other pitfall too. Someone might use the “translation” backwards and end up with the wrong message. For example the website suggest this “translation”: “Do your job

The question i quoted about the humming bird anatomy? That is the point. That is why this evaluation explicitly decides to not go down that route. Nobody (well, not me anyway) wants to convince you that it is usefull. That is the kind of qu
