  • Imagine watching someone do a bunch of random, kind of sloppy actions.
    • Then, unexpectedly, magic happens.
    • In a flash you realize: this person was not flailing, but doing intentional, precisely controlled steps the whole time.
    • A perfectly executed magic trick.
    • Every seemingly random movement was dialed in to call the magical result into being.
    • You have an 'aha' moment, as the bisociation collapses.
    • You go from thinking "this person is just making it up as they go along, with a lot of noise" to "this person is in very tight control, and I should pay attention to every detail[all][alm][aln][alo]."
    • That aha moment can be very compelling and make you trust someone deeply.
