I am not a linguist -- maybe there is a more appropriate label for this thing, but I don't know it.
The idea of the link is: you shouldn't say things like "the conclusion seems senseless" but rather "the conclusion doesn't make any sense to person X (but it could make sense to some other person Y)". Otherwise you get the implicit assumption that things make or don't make sense equally to all listeners; that is that "not making sense" is an inherent property of the conclusion, instead of a relation between the conclusion and the listener.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
