When you're missing a link in the chain
the outcome, if any, would not be the same
as it would be when you're the full complement,

now some will tell you it's not complement
it's compliment
even Grammarly may have concerns,
either way
whatever you may think
it's still a chain that is missing a link,

the wheels on the bus do not go round and round when it's standing at a stop do they?
it's just a memory.
