The report "contains much surplusage and editorializings and fails to plead clearly and specifically any actionable misrepresentation or omission".
"Surplusage"? "Editorializings"?
I actually had to look these up. And, yes, surplusage is there, although I prefer the simpler "surfeit". But "editorializings" misses the cut. How about "opinion"? Or, if you insist, "editorialization"?
