Why it works
The self-correction gets a hard-cut filter payoff at frame 54, making the word change visible before the rule is explained. Three long conversational shots (4, 7 and 17) give speech room, then shots 18–25 compress the visual test before the final verbal button. The shot-2 card grows ×1.67 within a static frame, so the format creates a strong reveal without moving the whole camera.
