Why it works
The voice corrects an intuitive cause by 0:06.8, then the drawing changes from a side view to an overhead diagram that can prove the claim. Blue control arrows and orange outcome arrows make the forward-versus-reverse comparison legible from 0:15 to 0:40 without subtitles or cuts. The growing deviation at 0:40–0:48 supplies a concrete payoff; reported replay peaks include 0:41.2 and 0:48.0.
