You're right to pushback. This isn't just a grammatical problem -- its a conversational one, too.

honestly, it's really load bearing and boiling the ocean which we don't want. There is no edge!

To avoid speaking vibe'ish I start to speak in 3 words sentences. Like this typical dialogue

How are you? that's not/very good. I think too. ...

Even complexity works. everything is expressible! Just try it.
