Hello Svart,

1. Knowing, as she does, a great deal about X...

This means "Given that she knows a great deal about X..."

With "as she does", the speaker vouches for the fact that "she knows a great deal about X". It may also imply that this expertise of hers will be known to the reader too.

All the best,

MrP

thanks, MrP

Is 'as she does' a parenthetical element and used for stronger rethoric?

Thanks

Hello Svart,

Yes, I think that would be a very good way of putting it!

See you later,
