The Razor and the Touchstone

Filed under: General — m759 @ 10:28 pm

It is often good to remember that writers of headlines (and subheadlines)
are usually not the same people as the authors of the following texts.

In particular, in the above example, neither the word "touchstone" nor
the use of "enquires" to mean "enquiries" appears in the text proper.

Still, the mixed metaphor of "razor" as "touchstone" is not without interest.

See The Eightfold Cube and Modernist Cuts.
