There once was a man named John Clark,
whose bite was as good as his bark.
When you said "the effect"
he heard "defect"
which proceeded to ignite a new spark...

which will have little effect on the endless Gordian knot composed of
these threads.

One bold stroke of insight is all that is required to escape the
Gordian knot (Gordon, Guardian, not?) but while the discussion has had
some effect on observers' observed affect, it has yet to affect
observations on the recursive relationship of the observer to the
observed.
