Why it works
The question begins while a simple subject draws into view in the first three seconds. Five measured internal hard cuts at frames 372, 659, 862, 1102 and 1367 reset the fixed canvas for new definitions, while spoken words cover 83% of the film and control each label reveal. The comparison around 31–35 seconds places values beside one diagram before a human-scale joke and quieter final page.
