predict
I gotta disagree here, I think predict does not belong to this class of 'unnecessary' words, maybe I'm drawing a blank but I can't think of a good substitute that captures the same kind of generality

the other is lack of precision.
I feel like a lack of precision is a quality that really sums up a lot of bad writing, so often people use language that is supposed to be biting and critical but just ultimately conveys the general thought 'I didn't like it because I didn't like it'

I then read the discussion to get an idea of how the paper fits into the general body of knowledge.
Sometimes I find the discussion section to be rather unilluminating personally, unless I'm pretty well acquainted with the status quo of a given subtopic, I prefer the conclusion.
-
I'll read the abstract, hop to the figures, and scan the discussion for important points.
This is critical; I would include going to the conclusion as well, I feel like between these you can really get what you need the vast majority of the time

You'd call it a badly written article.
I think this says more about genre expectations than it does about scientific writing, but I see the point they're trying to make

I think this is especially critical when reading academic papers, when wading through the deep waters of some of these papers it is especially easy to get distracted
