Thank you for the specific criticisms. Upon rereading the post, I notice it is longer than I thought it was when I was writing it. But I'm not confident that it needs editing or that trimming would make it better as opposed to worse. It does endeavor to teach how to spot inflationary term use, not just exhort to avoid doing so. That's the point of multiple diverse examples (and part of the reason it is so long).
