I find this to be an overreaction in this case.  Sure, it could have been 
worded more positively, but the negativity was very mild; the tests weren't 
even being called "bad", not to mention overly negative wording e.g. "horrible".

Further, you omitted the followup explanation of *what about the tests isn't 
good*:

> Otherwise, the tests are relying on a non-guaranteed implementation detail.

IMO we shouldn't require ourselves to be overly careful in our wording, such as 
avoiding any negative wording entirely.
