Len Fehskens on repeats:
>It's a "fact" that repeats necessarily mean this? So, an architect who

>Repetition is never a legitimate structural device?
Len is right, I believe. Another point: anybody who teaches knows the
importance of repetition in getting the message understood. As some
preacher is supposed to have said: first I tell them what I am going to
tell them, then I tell them, then I tell them what I have told them.
