Why it worked

Promises an answer and holds it back, which pulls the reader down the post.
Opens a question in the reader’s mind and withholds the answer until later.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Promises an answer it withholds
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
