Recommendations Should Be Phrased

Recommendations should be phrased

A) as strong, authoritative statements, in all cases, in all reports.
B) indirectly, so the reader is not offended by the implication that the reader has not adequately planned or performed.
C) with assurance and authority, unless the writer has a good reason to state the recommendation more tentatively and carefully.
D) in carefully qualified language, so that the writer cannot be held legally responsible for the recommendations.
