2The Old-Before-New Way:So why does the second sentence sound clearer than the first? Perhaps it is because your brain was able to register the OLD, familiar information before it has to register the NEW, unfamiliar information. When a writer does not begin a sentence with OLD information, the reader has to hold the NEW material in suspension until they have figured out how it connects to what has been mentioned befor
This somehow reminds me of passive and active voice.

But if you haven’t thought through your ideas, then rephrasing them won’t make any difference.
