Histologically, cells of the DCT can be differentiated from cells of the proximal convoluted tubule:

There are several reasons for this: firstly, sneakernets can provide very high security ( and possibly more importantly, they are perceived to be secure ); secondly, the volumes of data concerned are often extremely high ; and thirdly, setting up secure network links between the client business and the analytics team's facilities is often either impossible or an extremely convoluted process.

Methods are often convoluted and a slight mis-step in a procedure can often mean disaster for the analysis ( colloid formation in precipitation gravimetry, for example ).

Hardy's verse style is sometimes convoluted and awkward and he shows a certain love of rare or erudite words ( both of these stylistic habits would be condemned by François de Malherbe in the same period ); for these reasons later critics have called Hardy unreadable.

Volumes may be written on all the endless heraldic possibilities of this convoluted system of marshalling, but it may suffice here to say that for various purposes, arms may be marshalled by four basic methods: dimidiation by clipping and splicing two coats ( usually per pale ), impalement by dividing per pale and crowding an entire coat of arms into each half, quartering by dividing the shield into usually four ( but potentially innumerable ) " quarters ", and superimposition by placing one coat of arms inescutcheon over another.

" Some, like the Hitler puppet, made it into the final broadcast ; others, like a notably convoluted story about Siamese elephants joined at the trunk ( ad-libbed during a 1977 Mama's Family sketch ), would be edited, replaying the uncensored version ( Lawrences ' response ) years later on CBS specials.
