That it's such an elementary claim is the reason for the pushback. What's the point in saying something obvious?

Saying something obvious (e.g. circles are round) isn't the same as refuting something obvious (e.g. circles are squares).

Because people unfailingly pushback against it. The pushers should start their push acknowledging that it is possible if it’s really such an elementary claim to them.
