Popping this
DramaticIdentity into existence violates the otherwise pretty symmetry of
PositiveOne vs
NegativeOne, also known as
DialecticMode (
yes? I need to read the modes list again next week to LetItSinkIn). Therefore,
TheEditor may wish to banish the
DigressingOne back to the
BitBucket.
However, sometimes
AsymmetryIsInteresting. For example,
SymmetryBreaking events are a classy, if not classical,
<physicsjoke>.
In some cases, the
DigressingOne may be a
GreenHat (creativity) or a
BlueHat (meta-thinking). Hmm, or maybe a
WhiteHat who isn't concentrating.
Now I come to think about it, this character is probably supposed to just throw in a
WikiWord pointing at the digression, and let rip there.
This suggests that use of this
DramaticIdentity should be avoided where a
PromptingStatement should be used instead.
