What happened

I paid absolutely no attention to my knees for seven decades.

Why it matters

I did not look at my friends’ knees, and I never once thought, “She’s got nice knees.” I didn’t check out my children’s knees.

Common ground

I’m not talking about sprains or sores or aches.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
