Evening from the Northern Hemisphere all:
To cut (sic) a long story short, let's see what we have, using the above ku as an example. . .
As well as splitting two sections of a ku, for contrast /comparison; the split may also serve as a pivot (the cut's dash is, in optional effect, a hinge). Let's see what that looks like. . .

Because a cut emphasises the subsequent phrase, that phrase is dominant as a response to the call - so to say. Usually a punchline. Therefore, the question is one of emphasis vs fluidity.

use the broken window <-- cut risks L3 overemphasis?
What do you reckon? Something for us to ponder. . .
