I guess it is nitpicking, but I hate the word choice they’ve selected there. The “additionally” makes it look like the 22.5 and 45 hour problems are two different things, instead of the natural result of a round trip.
I don't think you should use the phrase "viscerally hyperbolic", I think it overstates the degree to which their comment communicates an excess of emotion. Instead, consider saying "I don't hate it, but I don't love it" to express agreement with the sentiment, but disagreement with the degree.
Perhaps the phrase "I don't hate it, but I don't love it" doesn’t fully encapsulate the nuanced spectrum of emotional response. Might I suggest employing "I harbor a moderate degree of equivocation regarding this matter"? It articulates a position of neither fervent advocacy nor staunch opposition, akin to balancing on the fulcrum of a metaphorical teeter-totter, oscillating gently between the poles of approval and disapproval.
Everyone's experience is subjective. Maybe they really hated it.
I also hate the wording, it threw me off for a few seconds and made me lose min train of thought until I realized the author simply doesn't know what the word "additionally" means.
