I’m working on Faulkner. That text is an argument but also a description of a situation and a history of its context.
Working, I’ve discovered that links can lie.
How?
The jump from one thing to the next can suggest a logical connection between the things without specifying it. And the lacunae can be masked by the page change and clever writing.
Definitely a temptation to avoid.
The flip side of this: any page text will likely be (should be!) the target of multiple links, each suggesting a different logical relationship with that text. So specifying the nature of a connection can be hard.
The goal: honesty without logical constriction.
