I have no doubt that an extended critique of the language of an official document does not endear one to the authors of such documents, but that, of course, is not the primary audience in such cases. One of the reasons why we should engage in such critique is precisely because the impoverished language used in those documents expresses and conveys an impoverished conception of the activity they are seeking to regulate, and there are discriminating publics who are perfectly capable of appreciating that fact if the criticisms are effected adroitly enough.
