Maybe, though in my experience beginner PhD students will often write like this in early manuscript drafts after they've been working on some project for a few months. Usually it's easily fixed by having someone more experienced proof-read it with comments explaining why that is bad style. Worst case, they'll learn the hard way (i.e., conference reviewers). But seeing this without any proof-reading on some public physics lab site just makes me cringe that they have unchecked write access to that site.
