彼は結論を急ぐ嫌いがある — how blunt is 嫌いがある really?

Question

Textbook gloss: 'to have an undesirable tendency to.' In a sentence like 「彼は結論を急ぐ嫌いがある」, does this land as a fairly mild, diplomatic criticism (like English 'he does tend to...') or something sharper? I don't want to accidentally sound harsh if I use it about a coworker.

Accepted Answer

算是相對委婉的說法，因為它承認這只是一種「傾向」而非「一定會這樣」，語氣上比直接說「彼はいつも結論を急ぐ」溫和。常出現在論文、評論裡評價某人物或現象的缺點，帶點學術客觀的距離感，不會太傷人。
