Ask HN: Past submission about the importance of the introduction to an article

1 pointsby shakilover 5 years ago
I recall reading a post that showed how the introduction to an article or proposal, even though very generic and bland, was key to ensuring the reader agreed with the conclusion of the article or approved whatever was being proposed. Cant seem to find that submission anymore.<p>Does anyone else remember reading something like this? Appreciate if you could share the link
