Yes, I know about \sloppy, but didn't for a long time, so wanted to put it in simpler terms to avoid causing confusion and/or having to explain this correspondence. Thank you for explaining it though.
An overabundance of hyphenation will degrade quality, yes. But it's not about having a lot of them, but having
the right ones.
And I do believe LaTeX is aware in its badness calculation that too much hyphenation is not great, so that's a less likely problem... though certainly a potential one. Or am I wrong?
