"Survivors Are Loud; Statistics Are Quiet", is it just me or is that "Foo is Bar; Baz is (the opposite of) Bar" speech pattern one that LLMs prefer for weird reasons.

This is a observation, not a judgment.

(That would be another one: "This is a Foo, not a Bar")

If you find that interesting, look at Stephen Hayes' Relational Frame Theory which is the inspiration for his ACT theory of therapy.

But he basically breaks all communications into patterns like those.
