Weasel words

I find my self disagreeing with some (a weasel word?) of this.<p>Their first example of &quot;researchers believe&quot; for example. If &#x27;experts believe&#x27; something then surely (weasel words?) that should be given weight, even if they aren&#x27;t offering a cast iron guarantee of fact. That&#x27;s communicating nuance, not using weasel words. That isn&#x27;t to say they <i>can&#x27;t</i> be weasel words though.<p>There are a few (weasel word?) other examples that I myself have probably used. Maybe that&#x27;s just British understatement?
