Why it works
Shot 1 lets a hidden silhouette turn into a comic character before the first cut at frame 143, so the narration's provocative claim has a visual answer. Shot 10 turns the joke into an explicit question at 44.93 s; later, shot 27 sustains a 904-frame explanation with a hard internal change at frame 5772. Sparse giant type and alternating bright and dark scenes reset attention without replacing the voice-led argument.
