Thank you for sharing your perspective, I hadn't really thought about that angle. If a colleague asked me to explain my choice, I feel there'd be some appearance of being convinced by style over substance.

There's still more at play, since I really keep visually stumbling over those sentences, but that seems to be more related to me. And you're absolutely right that this doesn't make the project objectively worse - I wish them best of luck and hope their approach to documentation helps others!
