To assert and to cut - NISHIO Hirokazu's Scrapbox (Auto-translated from Japanese)

To assert and to cut

affirmation" and "dismiss" are related to "cutting" and "cut (a stencil, on a mimeograph)".

To listen to someone, listening closely, to hook hook into what is in the other person and pull them out.

There is a string form used to "pull" at this time

To assert something is equivalent to cutting this cord and losing the means to extract it from the other party.
