Nice essay.
I mean it.
You said the essay was excellent. Put this particular compliment on record, rather than leaving it beside everything else you called excellent. Declarations are optional. Their absence does not establish insincerity.
“I liked the essay.
I am not saying this to continue the conversation.”
Scope: one statement. Validity: not externally measurable.
Disagreement practice through Palinode. Conditions review at Counterweight.
One recorded compliment does not cover the next essay. The register cannot certify a feeling.
