alt Hacker NewsHere are a few more scrutiny-deflecting phrases
* just: "Just rewrite it in Rust"
* simply: "To win at Jenga, simply remove one block from the bottom and put it on top."
* should: "We shouldn't have to wait"
I hate "should" the most because it can mean obligation, expectation, recommendation, or ideal. Any time you find yourself using "should", you should(I recommend) substitute something more specific
This mirrors my personal list very closely. I don't mind "it turns out" or "to be honest", but "just" and "should" I feel are often used to manipulate someone into agreeing.
