A small practice for the missing definition

A practical exercise: Ask which sentence each person would remove first.

Original practice · Optional exercise · Questions that open doors

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: Two people agree that a draft should be simpler.
  2. Ask which sentence each person would remove first.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
