That is an interesting question, I don't have an answer for it. Maybe
because GTTK already 'proposes' a sentence structure they try to work
within that instead of deleting the whole paragraph (which is often what is
needed) and rewriting it. Same for jargon and terminology, since they are
not subject matter experts, I am assuming they just accepted GTTK's
suggestion.
