OK, sure. I don't think they're weasel words, because I find them useful,
but I think I see where you're coming from.
Specifically, I reacted to the statement that <<it is sheer nonsense to
talk about "the" speed of an implementation>>, made in response to
someone upthread, in the context of Google finding CPython overall too
slow.
IIRC it was "the speed of a language" that was asserted to be nonsense,
wasn't it? Which IMO is fair -- a physicist friend of mine works with a
C++ interpreter which is relatively sluggish, but that doesn't mean C++ is
slow...
