Why it works
The contradiction arrives in shot 7 at 5.54 s, followed by real path maps in shots 8–9; proof precedes theory. The 718-frame drawing in shot 24 lets the model accumulate under speech, while the speed comparison in shots 25–39 and viewpoint test in shots 62–73 make the answer causal rather than asserted.
