Failure to be brief or succinct. Compare the remarks:

1. Miss X sang "Home Sweet Home."
2. Miss X produced a series of sounds that corresponded closely with the score of "Home Sweet Home."

Suppose that a reviewer has chosen to utter (b) rather than (a).

(Gloss: Why has he selected that rigmarole in place of the concise and nearly synonymous sang? Presumably, to indicate some striking difference between Miss X's performance and those to which the word singing is usually applied. The most obvious supposition is that Miss X's performance suffered from some hideous defect. The reviewer knows that this supposition is what is likely to spring to mind, so that is what he is implicating.)
