Calling Wikipedia's BLUFF

BLUF (bottom line up front)[1] is the practice of beginning a message with its key information (the "bottom line"). This provides the reader with the most important information first.[2] By extension, that information is also called a BLUF. It differs from an abstract or executive summary in that it is simpler and more concise, similar to a thesis statement, and it resembles the inverted pyramid practice in journalism.

As an old guy its a major frustration that folks are no longer direct, they never come to the point by starting off with "the conclusion" of their speech or writing right off the bat in the first sentence.

I think we should call Wikipedia's bluff right here right not.

And who put that stupid, unncessary template on the article (which dates from 2007)? Sandstein. Of course.

Drive-by shitposting. It's what he does.
