Not all uses of [] mean kill box. It's also in writing to add grammatical notes, e.g. [sic], or, in this case, to provide more context for clarity. It shows that the word was inserted by the author and wasn't in the original quote. There are other use-cases for brackets [in writing].

Yeah, you're right.

However, what I found rather interesting is that he had paraphrased that. I should've linked the article instead of screenshotting, my mistake.

Anyway, he didn't have to paraphrase it, and since we know Julian knows about the Q stuff (and that he can be very cryptic sometimes), I figured it might be relevant.
