I am not so sure as to whether in this specific case if there should be a "the" or not (I mentioned I am not 100% sure). But I believe there is one grammatically correct one if we ask a native speaker. That's why I consider it's "accent" or "language intuition", not "style". Comma is different from "the".
If you are offended by my pointing out what you consider "style" and is not relevant to writing improvement, I appologize. 只能说,我看错人了。
