The Bureau of Fine Lines
The Bureau of Fine Lines is the umbrella organization devoted to distinctions nobody asked it to formally investigate. The Department of Questionable Assessment administers the tests, assigns the deeply unofficial scoring ranges, and insists the instrument is “more useful than nothing.” The Institute for Extremely Informal Research receives the Department’s generous funding and conducts rigorous studies consisting primarily of noticing things, asking better questions, and occasionally making a chart nobody requested.
