Is a specific word for stating something so obvious that it is not useful to state something to everybody the same.

In a structured way, answering the question “What is this?” with a literal response will be a big problem. I’m trying to remember a sentence that says “Not to be XXX but unexpected events are unexpected.” Do the ejected yelp you didn’t think when you first read the article? ” (The word isn’t ‘tautological’ or’redundant’)”

Vacuous: “having or showing a lack of thought or intelligence; mindless. “Unexpected

I might go with trivial, which means “simple, transparent, or immediately evident” (sense 4b. here ).

  • Not to be trivial, but unexpected events, are, well, unexpected. If

I’m asking a question you are writing and I can’t explain a literal answer to this question, why

is it so important?
