Incidir

[fglorca]

"Sobre esta idea incide Juan, consciente de los malos hábitos de vida que en ocasiones se adquieren en la familia, reconoce como padre de una niña de cinco años que muchas veces el origen está en la falta de tiempo."

John, conscious of the bad habits in life that are sometimes picked up at home, stresses this idea...

Would stresses be an accurate translation of incide in this context?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

This is not a normal use of the verb "incidir", and to me it sounds plain wrong.

The speaker may well mean "to stress", as you say, although I feel they intend to say something like "to assert", "to state", "to express".
