What it is
What is visible in the shipped code. One signal is not a verdict. The score is the whole weighted set, not any single line of it.
How it is weighted
5 points is deliberately light. This one is a hint, and it is only interesting alongside others.
What to do about it
Rename to what the value actually is. If userData, userInfo and userObject are all alive in one file, at least two of them should not exist.
