    LPT: Statements that include the word “problematic” can be safely ignored. If the speaker could articulate the problem, they would.

        I believe not. “Problematic” here is included for clarity. This can be avoided by just saying that sentences which include such words can be safely ignored. Such words being problematic…

        But I think you get the point. The word is not really part of the sentence. It can be excluded without loss of meaning provided sufficient context.
