      There is an ancient 1400 year-old Arabic saying that goes إن من البيان لسحرا “in eloquence there is magic” or “some eloquence is magical”. It is an ancient tactic.

            Mhm, would definitely agree. Things don’t have to be simple, I get that, but at least be honest about it, don’t beat around the bush.
