Multi-ply insights take a combinatorial amount of time to explain.

Each ply compounds on the previous one; to fully explain it requires serializing it in a process that has a combinatorial explosion.

For a complex insight, that excruciating length can make it so no one else has the patience to sit and receive it.

So instead you communicate factored out principles… but the risk is that the receiver can't unpack them and they are just inscrutable.
