Because "I haven't seen this literary tool" or "I wouldn't think to use it" or "It doesn't match my perception of human literary tools", it must be artificial.

It's far more telling that you'd imagine this is a literary tool so interesting or complex that other people haven't seen it or thought of it

Speaking about telling it's called negative parallelism not " it's not x it's y". Don't be proud of ignorance even if you don't care for the subject.
