A way of wording an expression in a way that specifies which individual, entity, or other thing committed an act or caused something to happen.
An example of an 'indirect attribution' is, "It was determined that 'unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by Customs and Border Patrol officers'." Transformed into a "correct attribution" that statement would say something like, "In August of 2009, CBP Directive 3340-049 laid out its policies on searching electronic devices....In the course of a border search, with or without individualized suspicion, an Officer may examine electronic devices and may review and analyze the information encountered at the border.” Though correctly attributing an action increases transparency and accountability, and generally furthers the common good, it takes more time to say and/or space to write.

People and animals decide how to act based on a sophisticated and usually subconscious cost /benefit analysis they conduct.
People and animals have already run a cost/benefit analysis of each behavior they repeat, and know the benefit(s) repeating each of those actions will yield.
When a human or an animal foresees that it is very likely that a specific action will produce a specific benefit, he or she will execute it.
Thus, "a likely benefit triggers action."

Prominent punctuation enlarges periods and commas by drawing a circle around each period, and by drawing a large upward pointing arrow head above each comma. The periods with a circle around them, and the commas with the upward pointing arrow heads above them are standard text editing symbols which can also be used when writing to boost certainty and write better.
Working as a Writing Tutor at Borough of Manhattan Community College in 2014, when proofreading, C.M. Fabara started drawing a circle around each period, and an upward- pointing arrow head above each comma for students to more easily see where they were located in the text. Then, to help him see where a text's periods and commas were on a paper when writing a first draft or subsequent version of a paper, he started adding a cicle to all the periods and an upward-pointing arrow head to all the commas in a paper. Four-years later he named his technique "prominent punctuation" and submitted it to UrbanDictionary.com to request their approval.
