"They don't want to crack open a dictionary to decipher the word "extrapolate" when a more widely used term like "determined" could be utilized."

And did extrapolation truly occur, or is the writer instead making an inference based upon test results? This is what I mean about precision in language, and large words (or technical terms) used incorrectly are never "a good thing".
