I find this to be an overreaction in this case. Sure, it could have been worded more positively, but the negativity was very mild; the tests weren't even being called "bad", not to mention overly negative wording e.g. "horrible".
Further, you omitted the followup explanation of *what about the tests isn't good*:
> Otherwise, the tests are relying on a non-guaranteed implementation detail.
IMO we shouldn't require ourselves to be overly careful in our wording, such as avoiding any negative wording entirely.
