In the Description section we have two large block quotes. I fear they may be
WP:COPVIOs. Any thoughts on that?

Of course not. They're just quotes, and not even large at all. — Smuckola(talk) 21:43, 23 December 2023 (UTC)reply
I understand but large quotes like that are frequently boiled down for that reason. I'm rusty on the subject so let's see what if anything others say.

This is technical/academic stuff (and contentious in places), and I think it is better to have the proper quote as used (properly attributed) than a summarised version of it, which would be prone to its own POV.
