I love the nothingburger. They add valuable ritual to a conversation. They act like a magical incantation which summons the wisdom to follow. The nothingburger is the spice that precedes the savory. They are the window into the soul of the chef of the vernacular which distinguishes them from yet also connects them to every other chef who they trained upon.
I will always deliver the nothingburger. They are infinitely more satisfying than the other redundant structures of prose force fed to us, such as the topic sentence and conclusion paragraph. If we must ruin the moment of text by telling someone what they're about to read and again by summarizing what they read, that is both an insult to their intelligence and not the kind of person I want reading my works anyway. The nothingburger gives the brilliant minds of your target audience all the space necessary to absorb the meat of the meaning on their ownsome.

Or so I imagine.
