        Are you telling me that ideas don't actually light bulbs over my head? That surprise doesn't cause jumping beads of sweat?

        in this particular context, in criticizing an actual attempt to realistically depict a psychological state as bad writing.

        I think this is related to the social pressure for everyone's emotional arc to be the same, e.g., in grief counseling.
