Doubt (Revised)

[Todd]

I hear what you're saying about sinew = conviction. The point I'm making is that if the metaphor is stated well enough to show that then "It faces the tough sinew" should be enough to convey unyielding conviction on its own. If what you say is true then the reader will still get the sense of conviction without you adding the phrase.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm just making sure that my point is coming across. I think when "It faces tough sinew" does equal the connection to conviction on its own you've done enough work.

I mean we can disagree on this of course, but that's my point when I say that it's sort of a cheat.

Best,

Todd
