Free-framing can make a big impact on how something is received and to help put content in there for the listener to understand the perspective or angle to think of it from, which is often needed for bold statements, strong ones or even just shocking ones.

When you said, "it is often best to simply state it first and then explain any reasoning or findings that brought you to that particular message", I would caveat that advice by having the speaker be aware that the more significant the statement, the more there is actually a need to "pre-frame" the statement or provide more up-front context. By providing a bit of context before the statement, the speaker increases his/her ability to impact/influence the listener. Overall, your site/content is outstanding and I hope this comment contributes to the amazing value you provide your readers.
