It almost feels like the general approach for a long time has been to
compensate the general "clunkiness" (or at least peculiarity) of some UI
corners with extra verbosity.
It's like the program is saying "it's okay if we're doing unusual
things, but we'll tell you everything we're doing along the way".
I don't find it jarring myself, but we could probably do better.
