I think the problem isn't the phrasing, it's asking the question at all.

It's all too easy to confuse PRs as a quick peer review with an opportunity to vicariously work on something by asking questions that you should have asked when pairing.

If you don't trust the engineer, then why let them waste their time getting to the point they're asking for feedback to telegraph your contempt for them and try to "help" them?
