unoptimal

This is a true sentence. People who know me very, very well, upon hearing this sentence, will nod. It's a  good fit,  retrospectively, for the data.

However, if you are attempting to give someone a sense of me up-front, saying "Duncan Sabien is a teacher and a writer" is an unusually bad start.

Together, we realized that there is a curious one-way sort of property to many sentences, in which they work as pointers or summaries after the fact, but fail to generate the-thing-

they're-summarizing if used as standalone seeds.
