I think I'm just unsatisfied with "because" lol. Realistically I think I'm just asking "why" a few more times.

  > you don't want to just "do the punchline"

I think the punchline is not only non-obvious, and actually counterintuitive or easy to disagree with (if it was obvious, we wouldn't have the issues, right?). So I think just stating it would likely be ineffective. So then it becomes about how show the logic. Which if disagreed upon the steps or assumptions, I'm more than happy to update.

Actually that's why I find this particularly helpful. Different kind of bias. I do not find these conversations difficult in person, but it is harder in comments. Maybe just blog form is best for online.

And thanks for the comments. They do give me a bit to think about.
