What are this boards thoughts on the term “reach out” or “reaching out” to mean contact/talk to/communicate with?

Spinoff, why are people triggered by mundane stuff like this.

As long as I don’t have to reach out across the aisle to leverage my core competencies, I’ll just stick with the low hanging fruit.
I consider that, a scalable best practice.

That term is used frequently in law enforcement, especially in the context of conducting an investigation.
