This moment has no duration

To some extent. I did choose impact over thoroughness. I wanted my prose to have some style. I didn’t want it to sound like a manual. I wanted it to be fun, not boring. How can I leave the reader surprised while still understanding my point was the unverbalized question I asked myself. When going for that effect, my style is to use some flourish and the least amount of words I can. Word play. It’s kind of fun. I always had an affinity for words. Not a true talent. I could never monetize it - not nearly talented enough. But it’s something I like to dabble in. I did accept that someone would take it the wrong way as it’s par for the course when not being explicitly clear. But I also knew that no one’s resolve would be undermined. I simply lack the leverage to do that and I don’t think anyone here is gullible enough to fall for it even if I, or someone else, had that intent. So I just chose to combine flair with brevity. It’s what I wanted to do and no harm could come of it.

That is and was the intent. Process ongoing! And I wasn’t assuring myself. I was pointing out to you what you missed. No fault of your own - just the result of the style I chose.
