YES! As a data science major this is exactly why a code of ethics was made for data scientists in 2008 after the market crash.

It never clicked in my head as a form of doublespeak until now!

No. Romantic and entanglement just makes it worse. What you want to say is: I found this girl suffering from a clinically adverse effect due to the saturated inflammation of epinephrine. She was in a mentally critical condition that required a regulated oxytocin intake lest her lifespan is intermittently chopped short for lack of treatment and administration of the chordae tendineae cords. She had previously suffered a apical ballooning syndrome and needed a pulmonary heart bypass placebo to re-coordinate and connect her testosterone levels with her endocrine system body functions. Honey, she had a 5.30% chance of dying, within the next year, it's lowered now to .07% chance. I have potentially saved a life, she was possibly suffering tremendously because of her condition.

You'd be surprised how fantastically effective it is, though. You can say the exact same thing, the thing with the exact same actual meaning, with two sets of words and flip someone from being curious and interested right over to vehemently spitting in your face with anger. Just saying the same thing from a different perspective can make people think you're saying two completely different things. For example, you can find in many places articles about "the health benefits of more sex". You will not, however, find articles about "the health dangers of abstinence." They're the same thing. The only difference is that in the first case, you are making the assumption that the audience is mostly abstinent, and that this is what they see as normal. In the second case, you're assuming the audience is having a higher amount of sex, and would lose the benefits of sexual activity by abstaining. But it's the same situation. They would cite the same studies. For instance, in one of the biggest studies of its kind in history, they found that those having, on average, fewer than 2 orgasms a week were twice as likely to die (from any cause) during the course of the study (which ran for years). Now, if you're having fewer than 2 orgasms a week, you could have more sex and move into the 'half as likely to die' group... but if you're already having 2+ orgasms a week, and you were to instead begin a life of celibacy, you would join the group which was twice as likely to die. This information is, in fact, reporting health benefits of more sex (for people having little), and health dangers of abstinence (for people having average or more amount). But, people will read a study about the benefits of more sex with a smile on their face, while they will get absolutely angry if you suggest that abstinence is a dangerous practice.
