Comment by pessimizer

Like most people I jump back and forth when I speak, disclaiming, correcting, and appending to previous utterances. I do this even more when I write, eradicating entire sentences and even the ideas they contain, within paragraphs that which by the time they were finished the sentence seemed unnecessary or inconsistent.

I did it multiple times while writing this comment, and it is only four sentences. The previous sentence once said "two sentences," and after I added this statement it was changed to "four sentences."
