A rhetorical shape on repeat

Forbidden
"It's not X, it's Y" in every section; three adjectives, three verbs, three clauses, sentence after sentence; every paragraph built claim, example, takeaway.
Instead
Any one of these is fine. The finding is density: the same shape often enough that a reader starts to hear it.
