[FRIAM] When are telic attributions appropriate in physical descriptions?

I'm more inclined (in the context of my own profundity or perhaps more 
aptly prolificness or prolixity) to suggest that it is more of a mask 
(and therefore enabler?) of bullshit than a breeding ground. Could be a 
fine hair I suppose.

I love me the term "mansplaining" and particularly the proto-form that 
Rebecca Solnit offered me in her "Men Explain Things to Me" some 10+ 
years ago...   in defense of my gender, I want to expand it to 
"DominantCultureSplaining" which I do acknowledge is well represented 
simply as "Man" splaining.

And to that point, I agree that GPT does seem to lean toward "Dominant 
Culture Splaining" and wonder at just how/when the right prompting will 
yield otherwise?   Seems like anything it can do, it can do "en 
complement" if that is a concept?

Your comments here help me to think about that...
