Why it works
The narrator challenges the default map assumption by 0:05.6, then the 49th-parallel line and red population area make the claim visible by 0:15. A single map shot still supplies 16 measured graphic changes in 58.5 seconds, while the final Detroit close-up turns broad statistics into an easy-to-grasp southbound arrow; the first area reveal aligns with the 0:13 most-replayed peak.
