Given the multiple pushbacks by different people, is there a reason you didn’t just take Kyle’s suggested text “concludes that things may be bad and getting worse”?
“May” is compatible with something like “my overall view is that things are good but I think there’s a 15% chance things are bad, which is too small to ignore” while Kyle’s analysis (as I read it) is stronger, more like “my current best guess is that things are bad, though there’s a ton of uncertainty”.
