Seeing the description finally step into territory of abstract, I tried reworking it a bit. And it didn't go too well. I'm close to accusing the author of this ykttw of not knowing what {{Trope}} means. The point is, I am convinced enough that I've finally deduced the "real" (inferred by what description contains) laconic of this ykttw as follows: [[AC:"Author]] [-''successfully dupes''-] [[AC:the audience into having wrong impression for a moment by withholding some important things for that moment. In-universe, villains can]] [-''successfully dupe''-] [[AC:others into having beneficial opinions, not necessarily just for a moment."]] (ykttw actually didn't say "villains", it's for the sake of reference below only) Tropes are supposed to be about ''the process'' writer employs, rather than about ''the result'' writer gets. A writer simply can not be sure of the future result enough to associate that result with his current templated effort. It's a universal truth due to variety of audience. But see the "successfull duping" parts in laconic, they're required to tie together two different parts. First part of current scope description can be reworked from result-stating into process-stating. The second one -- if reworked, would fall out of line. Second part can be treated as an example of author writing that the villain succeeds at something (the fact of ''writing'' is out-of-universe). But then that would be a trope different from the trope of the first part. Once more: 1) the ykttw puts emphasis on success (radical changes, twists, things do become very different), 2) in-universe is 100% in writer's power (regardless of what audience knows by that time), 3) out-of-universe writer has no power (only appeal and very careful consideration of what the audience knows). Until the target phenomena are chosen more properly, there's no way to make a trope-fitting description. And if it insists on being devoted to results that author gets, it's not even a trope. ---- [-(Rewording of example-as-a-thesis part, but it's not that relevant at the moment)-] [--"A break from sort of "single-pass" story-telling. An instance of narrating a certain portion of the story reveals not all information, which the audience is expected to base its reaction on. It should be followed with "Nth pass" or multitude of them, the new information giving room to new interpretations, for example affecting the degree of straightforwardness of narrated events."--]
