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.

Eloquence is such a good way to describe the magical nonsense words. Thanks for that cool tidbit of history

Simplicity and honesty are luxuries rarely possible nowadays

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.

Dang that's so cool. I'm sure it's a phenomenon we've all noticed, but this is the first time I've heard it named
