Tautologies
Saying the same idea results in what is called tautology, also known as circular reasoning. This usually happens in the Why.
For example:
I like Pinto Island tortoises because they are the rarest animals in the world.
As we can see in the chart below, when you write the text for the RH (New) section, you will describe the Pinto Island tortoises as the rarest animal in the world. When you write the Why section, you will repeat yourself.
LH | VP | RH | because | Y |
---|---|---|---|---|

What the What+Why says: I like Pinto Island tortoises (the rarest animals in the world) because they are the rarest animals in the world.
