       | Only slightly related, it recently occurred to me while

       | entirety of an exposition, that influence can amount to a
       | significant shift in meaning. I guess that's the point of
       | journaling in a way; to find out what you think. But the effect
       | must show up everywhere without people realizing it, even in
       | writing that's not experimental.
