By the same token, did you need to put that in French? Did it serve a purpose?

I don’t have a problem with you having done so, but I don’t have an issue with the article either.

As far as I know it's a "technical term" that has a negative connotation, whereas a word-by-word translation doesn't. (I'm not a native English speaker, nor French, and I might be completely wrong on the semantics of that, because I'm just a lazy-ADHD autodidact when it comes to ... almost anything, really. So I welcome any criticism, tips, and FYI/explanations.)
