IronDog
: "controversial" is often associated with "inconsistent" and "confusing" whereas a "polemical" opinion can be quite coherent. "Полемический" does not necessarily "arouse" controversy, it may resolve an existing one.

polemical remarks
remark (here): an expression of opinion or judgement. I believe this implies something less formal or of a lower profile than an article, which may suit the situation of the editors who seem to distance themselves from the text.
