Contexte culturel
Greek journalists often use high-register collocations to establish authority. Using 'δεν χωρεί αμφισβήτηση' makes an editorial sound more 'weighty' and objective. In the 'Panhellenic Exams', students are specifically graded on their ability to use 'Logia' (learned) expressions. This phrase is a 'must-know' for anyone aiming for a high score in Modern Greek Composition. Greek law is heavily influenced by the Byzantine-Roman tradition, which favors precise, formal language. This phrase is a staple in judicial reasoning to describe 'beyond reasonable doubt'. Greek politicians use this phrase to 'frame' their arguments as objective truths, effectively trying to end a debate by claiming the other side has no logical ground to stand on.

Don't Overuse
If you use this phrase 5 times in one essay, it loses its power. Save it for your most important point.
