My first impression was that this is much too obvious to be worth talking about, but my second thought is that I’ve found it very useful to have these language based triggers that act as a “summon sapience” spell. Triggers that make you stop and think. They don’t push you to make any particular choice, but just to notice that this is a situation where there is a choice to be made.
I wonder if it would be worth putting together a list of “words and phrases which, when you hear them, should make you stop and think”. “Why does this keep happening?” belongs on that list for sure.
