The larger your surface area of your argument, the less likely people are to believe.

All it takes is one load bearing part of the argument someone doesn't agree with to invalidate the whole argument for them.

The surface area goes up with the square of the ideas that someone must believe that are not obviously, self-evidently true.

An existence proof of the thing working in the wild helps make a thing obviously true.

When you're trying to do something big and novel, sometimes you feel like you want to make better arguments to convince the skeptics.

But actually you should just focus on making it real.
