I recently changed the line in my Contra review

"I would have thought that would be intuitive, but I guess not"

to

"I previously would have thought that would be intuitive, but apparently it's not"

I dunno. The original version is more casual in tone, and so it fits in better with the rest of the review. I *think* the meaning of that sentence is also clear from its context. But, well, in any case, the revised version is more exact. Out of the context of that paragraph, the original sentence seems like I'm simply contradicting myself.

So, I guess my point is just that I can be a perfectionist. I'd like to change the intro of my Mars Matrix review, too. I think the first sentence could be misunderstood to mean something I did not want to suggest (though I did have a reason for writing that sentence that way). But in that case, I think any change of tone would be unacceptable. Which is why I haven't changed it yet.
