Your first example might actually be really nice in something like a math paper. Something that follows a somewhat rigid premises-argument-conclusion format. For prose, it's obviously silly, because one point and one goal of prose is to keep the reader in the dark about many wonderful things - or even mislead them to suprise them. So techniques that allow for an easier skimming and back-and-forth (like I did to compare example #2 with example #1) are detrimental there.
