Is there a rule against third-level bulletpoints? I keep seeing this:

  • Why didn't [character] do [action]?
    • Because [reason]
      • No, that can't work because [reason]
    • Because [some other reason]

This seems to be well-organized. Each of the second-level bullet-points is responding directly to the first-level bullet-point, and there's also a third-level bullet-point responding directly to a second-level bullet-point.

But then for some reason, that exchange always gets edited to look like this:

  • Why didn't [character] do [action]?
    • Because [reason]
    • No, that can't work because [reason]
    • Because [some other reason]

The third-level bullet-point gets turned into a second-level bullet-point. Why?? It just makes the conversation harder to understand.

This is not a headscratcher at all. I removed it. It should probably go as some kind of arrogance trope.

  • Why were the Illuminati so dismissive of the threat posed by Wanda? Yes, it could be they were arrogant - but when Wong realized a battle with Scarlet Witch was imminent, he put all of Kamar-Taj on high alert, gravely acknowledging the likely outcome the entire time. And yet, the Illuminati fared no better. Could it be that Baron Mordo simply isn't as competent in his role as Sorcerer Supreme, and thus wasn't aware of the danger?
