The words "but just barely" in the sentence "Galena is also magma-safe, but just barely." Are they necessary?

:The phrase "but just barely" is not ambiguous, it merely makes note of the fact that the melting point is very close to the temperature of magma. IMO the phrase adds style to an otherwise drab statement that is repeated hundreds of times across the wiki. I do not believe removing it would improve the accuracy of the article.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 20:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

The words "but just barely" in the sentence "Galena is also magma-safe, but just barely." Are they necessary? Is there a chance of Hotter Lava or is the temperature static so therefor just the statement "Galena is also magma-safe" would be more accurate and would not miss lead that it matters how magma-safe something is.--Catagris (talk) 02:04, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

The phrase "but just barely" is not ambiguous, it merely makes note of the fact that the melting point is very close to the temperature of magma. IMO the phrase adds style to an otherwise drab statement that is repeated hundreds of times across the wiki. I do not believe removing it would improve the accuracy of the article.--Loci (talk) 20:58, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
