+## Motivation
 
 The Option type is intended for cases where you sometimes might return a value
-(typically an object), and sometimes you might return a base value (typically null)
-depending on arguments, or other runtime factors.
-
-Often times, you forget to handle the case where a base value should be returned. Not intentionally
-of course, but maybe you did not account for all possible states of the system; or maybe you
-indeed covered all cases, then time goes on, code is refactored, some of these your checks 
-might become invalid, or incomplete. Suddenly, without noticing, the base value case is not
-handled anymore. As a result, you might sometimes get fatal PHP errors telling you that 
+(typically an object), and sometimes you might return a base value (typically
+null) depending on arguments, or other runtime factors.

+anymore. As a result, you might sometimes get fatal PHP errors telling you that
 you called a method on a non-object; users might see blank pages, or worse.
 
-On one hand, the Option type forces a developer to consciously think about both cases
-(returning a value, or returning a base value). That in itself will already make your code more
-robust. On the other hand, the Option type also allows the API developer to provide
-more concise API methods, and empowers the API user in how he consumes these methods.
