Some new constructs

Last week-end's additions: some rhetorical forms that speakers or authors use to awaken their audience.

  • "The point is not merely X. The point is Y".
    X=something positive; audience is stunned and thinks "Ooooh"
    Y=something also positive; audience is relieved and thinks "Aaaah".
  • A variant, heard from a guy who uses it at each and every speech: "It's not about X. It's about Y".
  • Something found in an article: "There can be no X until we can achieve Y". X and Y are some exchangeable improvements. To that purpose, in the CBSG code, the Growth function is called for both X and Y.

The CBSG will then produce this kind of output:

  • The point is not merely to synergize our non-standard responsiveness. The point is to table our improved and trust-based tactics.
  • It's not about multi-divisional and game-changing win-win solutions. It's about an operating strategy.
  • There can be no robust yield enhancement until we can achieve rock-solid expansion.
