A skill I wish people would develop is the practice of holding (connecting) the premises presented until the full view (model) is concluded--a model to compare to their own, for their assessment. (This is how one grows better and not just further.)
The limit of conveying an argument, a view (model) is that one can only present premise by premise (piece by piece). The model is invisible to any listener, unless they too build it (in their mind, for their own observation, which is not a sign of acceptance and doesn't require acceptance). This is the same wisdom of "Be able to state the opposing argument."
Instead, people come to discussion with their own model prepared in hand (good), and then--as each premise piece of another model is presented to them--they take those premise pieces one at a time (as must be so) and then hold them up to their own model, one at at time. Of course it doesn't connect. So they drop it. And the next piece--and the next... and make zero connections with the pieces you have to give them one at a time.
Then they marvel at your conclusion. You "didn't" build an argument (using the connections of their model). How did you even get there?!?!
They do not know how to build a competing model and compare.
sigh lol lmao
