Thank you for, essentially, paraphrasing the 600+ year-old conclusion of The Divine Comedy.

Can't believe I'm concerned about matching commas at such a time, but humans are nothing if not creatures of habit, and habit grabs the steering wheel during stressful times. Even Dante was concerned with word choice and poetic meter. However, he did that, not out of foolish preoccupation with detail, but to ease semantic understanding.
