I don't know anything about this, but there are certain times when I have
liked to use \paragraph{   } in generating a document.  The first part of
the paragraph is emboldened, but it's still a paragraph.  I stumbled over
this idea when I first encountered Org-Mode, and never was satisfied with
the answer that it's not possible to wrap a headline.  On the other hand, I
do understand that concept and a little bit about why it isn't ordinarily a
great idea.  We are not talking about exporting though, and it's entirely
possible that this is possible to do when exporting.

FWIW.

[Fill in the blanks]

The use of corrupt manipulations and blatant rhetorical ploys ...---
outright lying, flagwaving, personal attacks, setting up phony
alternatives, misdirection, jargon-mongering, evading key issues, feigning
disinterested objectivity, willful misunderstanding of other points of
view---suggests that ... lacks both credibility and evidence.
