The quoted sentences used "correct", "right" and "wrong". Hardly the sensationalist words you're implying.

It's not the word choice, it's the whole tone and structure of the sentence. It reads like a horror writer building up the tension before a big reveal but it just keeps drawing it out over a whole article and for something that isn't worth the build-up. It gets quite tiring to read IMO (LLM writing in general tends to have a grandiosity to it which really grates with something which is meant to be more informative, in my experience. They will explain a section of tax law like it's the second coming of Christ).

I get what they're saying, it's more about the punchy tone than the word choice
