It is self-evident that dihydrogen monoxide is a deadly poison which
kills people if consumed in a large enough quantity. But it is not plain
English.

Policy documents should be straightforward and clear. In particular,
policy documents for an international organization, should be clear and
not mince words.

--Michael Dillon

P.S. some definitions

"Plain English" means text which is written in clear, direct and
understandable language.

"Dihydrogen monoxide" is H2O or water. If you drink too much water, it
will kill you.
