Why is there a general rule that you should have at least two entries at any level of subordination within an outline?

What will be an ideal response?


- The main reason is that an idea cannot be subdivided into only one part.
- A single entry at any level of subordination could be a sign that there is something missing in the analysis.
- A single entry might also mean that a subpoint has been misidentified and is actually a main point.
- There are some cases where an exception can be made such as when you wish to discuss a general idea and illustrate only one specific dimension.
