Alot is opinion and then there's context. A few weeks ago I came across a deep closer with a comment like "Taken up start" and went and watched the replay. He's a consistent closer but he happens to usually break well and runs "with the pack" for a couple of strides before dropping back for one run. He did his usual and suddenly the comment writer noticed it and mentioned it. He started fine and was taken back (as usual) after 4-5 strides, then closed late.
Terms like bobbled (stumbled?) taken up, off slow, off bit slow are pretty subjevtive. One man's bad start is another man's bobble.
In comments about late moves there is a bit more clarity. Steadied 1/8 pole or squeezed inside is clear but that "determined" rally might have looked good because the leader was quitting.
