You said it yourself
What you work out for yourself holds — my version doesn't.
The strongest sentences in a conversation aren't mine. They're yours, just thrown in at the end of a message, where you walked straight past them. When I hand them back, it's not a trick — it's proof you already have the answer. A change someone prescribes lasts a few days. The one you find becomes you.
