  My point is that people will trust something that what sounds like it is being said sincerely by a living person more than they will regular text results a lot of the time because the “living person” sounds like they have emotions, which makes them sound like a member of our species, which makes them sound more trustworthy.

  There’s a reason why predators sometimes disguise themselves, or part of themselves, as their prey. The anglerfish wouldn’t be as successful without that little light telling nearby fish “mate with me.”

    I didn’t make any comment about what you’re saying, I saw your point and had nothing to add.

    A garden path sentence is one where you read it wrong the first time around and have to backtrack to understand it, for example: the old man the boat.

    “a human being” is normally a noun, but then it turns out “being” is actually a verb.
