Because "I haven't seen this literary tool" or "I wouldn't think to use it" or "It doesn't match my perception of human literary tools", it must be artificial.

It's far more telling that you'd imagine this is a literary tool so interesting or complex that other people haven't seen it or thought of it

Speaking about telling it's called negative parallelism not " it's not x it's y". Don't be proud of ignorance even if you don't care for the subject.
Kinda funny how we went full circle with you calling me ignorant and illiterate on the basis of not using your preferred terminology, as opposed to the actual, obvious meaning of the subject
Ignorant and illiterate don't take the whip from me if you are so generous with it on yourself.
