    By changing its position in the sentence, you alter the meaning of “sufficient” (this “sufficiently” and this “insufficiently” are not opposites), and the primary implications of the two sentences are thus not contrapositives. Cute though.

    I've heard this called Gehm's corollary to Clarke's Third Law.
