Try another version of the surprising preference

Original creative challenge · Observation before explanation

1. Use this invented starting situation: A reader prefers the earlier version of a design.
2. Ask which feature helps them before interpreting the preference.
3. Make a small artefact that shows the change: a note, sketch, caption, or three-panel sequence.
4. Write one sentence describing what the artefact makes clearer. Keep this an experiment; no account, purchase, or public post is needed.
