Sarcasm
В.Ф.Эрн как-то высказался по поводу одной статьи: «Это не нужно критиковать. Достаточно просто констатировать.» Затруднения вызывает последний глагол. В английском переводе сарказм должен быть прозрачен. Не уверен, что "It is sufficient to expose" достаточно отражает потребности.

There is no need to criticise it. It speaks for itself.
A less literal version. The sarcasm would be clear from the surrounding context, I hope.
Note from asker:
| The impication is more imortant than the letter. |
