To me, the point isn't the "pattern" evoked by the &. conjunction, it's
the whole concept of verb expressions and the expansion of possibilities,

I'm not sure why I should see this as a different point, but I think
I understand what you've said.

The thing that does tug at me, it is getting my head around how a dyadic
verb has an inverse. I think the same thing happens with #^:_1but I haven't
yet seen nor thought up a good explanation for how those inverse cases
were derived.

For the examples I'm familiar with, these are right inverses (the left
argument is retained for the inverse case).
