Why it works
The first word waits until 7.68 s while the opening identity resolves, then a concrete dilemma gives the lesson an immediate stake. One recurring illustrated silhouette changes from scattered dots at about 1:24 to a network at 1:35 and a night scene near 3:49, making an abstract mechanism visible. The practical advice falls around 4:53–4:57, the measured most-replayed span in v1 facts.
