Is anyone else appalled by this "Political Correctness" Speak?

The incidents occurred when blades failed earlier than predicted by Rolls-Royce’s risk analysis modelling for the known issue.
Blades aren't designed to fail! And in normal circumstances would have been replaced long before their use-by date. Rolls Royce has been aware of this issue for years. Plenty of time to fix the issue.
I don't get your point about PC speak. RR got one of their assumptions wrong about the harshness of the environment they fly in. They revisited and updated their assumption and hence the announced SB in order to continue flying safely.

I don't know how else this should have been stated.
