Don’t use the passive voice and weasel-words. If you want to make claims make them.

It could be argued that the use of the passive voice and the abstract attribution of an argument to a nebulous other. A practice which has been described in some literature as the use of “weasel-words”, has a deleterious effect on comprehension and dilutes discussion by making unclear distinctions between the beliefs of interlocutors and mere speculation.
