It's stopping reading at a sentence dripping with pseudo intellectualism. When writers try too hard to sound intelligent and erudite it's off-putting, and a "bullshit" indicator.

Yeah this is a major problem in the political landscape overall. Like for example refusing to read anything by conservatives just because you happen to disagree with them on abortion issues. You're going to be a) missing out on a lot of insights and b) even worse, create a divide where you can't even understand the other side anymore just because you outright refuse to hear them out.

I tripped on that sentence myself but continued reading since it seemed like a minor point to the actual story and I wasn't disappointed.
