This comment is excellent. I really appreciate it.
I probably share some of your views on the “no no no no (yes), no no no no (yes), no no no no (yes)” thing, and we don’t want to go too far with it, but I’ve come to like it more over time.
(Semi-relatedly: I think I rejected the sequences unfairly when I first encountered them early on for something like this kind of stylistic objection. Coming from a philosophical background I was like “Where are the premises? What is the argument? Why isn’t this stated more precisely?” Over time I’ve come to appreciate the psychological effect of these kinds of writing styles and value that more than raw precision.)
