I’m also in agreement, recognition of what you’re describing; their language goes an insane length of syllables to incorporate ideas and scenarios A-Z, with so much exactitude that could immediately clash with irl/historical grounding, but I think it’s largely a matter of how that fiction overlays reality - it leans entirely into rationalizing and justifying, overexplaining and articulating, maybe like the opposite of handwaving, sometimes even starkly against brevitysoulofwit. Generally speaking the voice and self confidence behind it, able to somewhat humbly juggle all those Extreme Details is pretty uncommon, it might be fine with putting “what feels natural” away.

I always think this covers it pretty well:
