Weird "soft touch" in book text

Question:

From the book:

"info_book.evilcraft.second_age.powers_of_blood.text3": "As we all know, &4Blood&0 will dry out after a while when it is in a dry area. Breaking the &1Hardened Blood&0 with a pickaxe or your fists will turn it into regular &4Blood&0 again. Breaking such &1Hardened Blood&0 with &1Flint and Steel&0 will give some &1Hardened Blood Shards&0 which might come in handy later on. It looks like these shards can also be obtained when cooking such a &1Hardened Blood&0 block, if you can obtain it in some way ... maybe a soft touch can help?",

maybe a soft touch can help?",

The "soft touch" here sounds weird to me, as if someone tried to put "silk touch" in English but forgot the original. https://youtu.be/WaUDpdhoBl4?t=1300

I suggest to rephrase it slightly, at the very least something like "maybe a softer touch can help". This still keeps the calembour on the Silk Touch enchant name but appears intentional.

I don't see a problem with a current phrasing tbh, so I'd prefer to keep it as-is.
