>Why paint a narrative that the one item you cannot possess is the one item you need in order to justify your argument?
because when the audience you're playing to aren't lawyers, you can exploit that blindspot
same way a ball player mimics being fouled in order to draw the call from officials
without instant replay from multiple angles all you have to go on is player's (dishonest) reaction
emotion is convincing unless you think it through and think for yourselves
