I answered that in the related thread at your blog.  I can't quite say
I _denied_ that at your blog, but "could be expected" omits "expected
by whom"  --  that's the crux of the problem.  I yield to no one in
having trouble finding exactly and only words that can't be
misinterpreted.  But it's awfully common, especially reading text on a
page or screen, to fill in malice where there may only be
wholeheartedly cheerful honest spin, or even unconscious bias, tweaking
wording.

By the way, do follow the pointer in the post to the thread on that
other climate site, which has since developed into a lively example of
something related.
