Why it works
The opening establishes a historical baseline and turns it into a cross-country mystery by 0:17; a 48.57-second map and chart passage then adds seven internal changes instead of rushing past the evidence. The 3:40 distinction between outcomes per participant and the share participating creates a genuine explanatory turn, while the 4:40 comparison tests a familiar stereotype. The supplied analysis covers only the first 6:00 of a longer episode.
