I always feel like, hmmmmm...I'll bet there's more to this story than what I'm actually getting. Something context driven that would help elucidate the situation. Given enough time for the other shoe to drop I find I'm usually right. I generally wait for it...waaaait for it! Ahhhh, there it is. Lol.

Yes. I have learned to pay close attention to the wording.
Word choice is often very telling. Though wordsmithing can be an art, it is most often used these days to obfuscate a lie or to activate an emotional response.
As you alluded to, the devil is in the details.
