Not inane, it prevents editorializing, You know the stuff like "Democrats plan to kill more babies" when the Title is "Democrats propose adding more birth control methods".

It was inane in this case which is what I meant as it just addd a few quantifiers for more context. I totally agree with preventing editorializing though so thanks for pointing that out.
