The demo version has some small differences to the one we eventually got on the album—for example, it's slightly faster and it's obviously a lot more raw, but Morrissey's vocals are largely the same save for a few tics, and if you're a big nerd like me, it's a fun look behind the band's curtain, which is one they haven't taken down for a while.

Even if such poems exist, they can seem plausible only because the computer is programmed to imitate stylistic tics that we have already been instructed to appreciate, something akin to the way the ocean can "create" a Brancusi—making smooth, oblong stones that our previous experience of art has helped us to see as beautiful—rather than to how artists make new styles, which involves breaking the algorithm, not following it.

Mr. Moretti noted with amusement a flap last spring at the World Bank, where Paul Romer, the chief economist, was relieved of some management duties at its research arm after demanding, among other changes, that its publications reduce their use of the word "and" — one of the stylistic tics mocked in "Bankspeak," a Lit Lab pamphlet analyzing the bank's drift over 60 years toward more abstract and "self-referential" language.

But in a presidency pocked with the less-than-regal vocabulary of this Washington moment — tweets about witch hunts and hoaxes, liars and leakers — the document is also striking for its window into the singular verbal tics and strategic instincts of the executive speaker: part flattery-laden banter ("Your economy is going to get better and better I predict"), part foreboding ambiguity ("I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation").

A lot has been said about the extraordinary physicality of Mr. Platt's performance: the hunched posture he maintains throughout the show, the facial tics and nail-biting and the repetitive worrying of his fingers at the seam of his pants, the way in which he never for a moment loses this finely grained physical expression of Evan, even in the midst of the 22015 songs that he performs, three of which are wrenching solos.

Indeed, Metcalf, a performer whose verve I was excited about in last season's "A Doll's House, Part 2," relies so much on the tics she developed thirty years ago for the sitcom "Roseanne"—nonchalance, a certain rueful distance—that she actually helps Mantello steer the play away from its deeper implications, which have to do with how we forgive those who made us, even if what they made was a target at which to aim their life's disappointment.

Some of the housemasters there were interesting, and at least one of them, Arthur Goodhart, would find his way into A Dance as the restless, dim, and faintly sinister Le Bas, who is a mass of physical tics, has numerous passages of second-rate verse off by heart, and on one occasion is caused to be arrested by the police, a prank played on him by Charles Stringham, Jenkins's friend and one of the most vivid characters in the sequence.

Steadfast followers have long ago learned to suspend their disbelief at a number of the show's outlandish tics: how early the contestants will say "I love you," how excited they are to go on dates where they'll be vying with ten others for the attention of a single human being they literally just met, and the disproportionately dramatic reactions to seemingly small events—like bursting into tears and declaring you are "unlovable" after being dumped on a second date, or having a bumper cars–related panic attack.

The singer, as noted, was a species of turbo ventriloquist; the guitarist, the brainiac, drove the thing forward with massive, slashing chords; and the rhythm section was composed of two uncontrollable soloists: the prolific John Entwistle, whose bass offered arch intra-musical commentary at heavy metal volume, endlessly raising its eyebrows and doodling in the margins, and on drums the feast of acceleration, the rampage of allegro agitato, that was Keith Moon, stampeding ahead of his tics like a character in a fairy tale.
