\ {'e'} is MEANT to be used in the middle of ONE sentence to connect two
\verbs such that that which could stand as a complete sentence revolving
\around the first verb becomes the object of the second verb.
Not true. We punctuate it that way, we think of it that way, but
such constructions with 'e' are really two sentences, according to
that section of TKD. So it's not so much of a stretch to cover
two adjacent sentences spoken by the same person; in fact, it's
not a stretch at all. That's exactly what 'e' is for. But
it is true that some sentences are not well-suited for such use.
