"If I may generalize from one example here..."

"I'm suffering from halo effect."

"Warning: Dark Arts."

"Okay, but in the Least Convenient Possible World..."

"We want to raise the sanity waterline."

"You've fallen prey to the illusion of transparency."

"Bought some warm fuzzies today."

"What does the outside view say?"
