      If you can't detail why it's bad in any shorter form than a 90 minutes video, perhaps it's not that bad.

        Agentless passive, hedging, zombie nouns. It’s the type of writing that’s meant to meet a word count.

          But that does not seem to be related to academics, as GP called it.

          Perhaps it is the contrast of "freely recommending" and "always should be considered carefully"?

          Or taking a larger leap: the awkwardness of saying how hard (isolating) it is to do a PhD in an unfamiliar country, then saying that you enjoyed it, but others should consider it carefully?
