Why it works
The first courtroom tableau stays in place for 10.3 seconds while bubbles and an arrow reveal a hidden third option, then the narration makes learning it personally consequential by 0:19. The two-rule explanation at 0:59–1:24 becomes a stable verdict table that can be revisited for the inverse case at 2:07. The audience-facing yes/no trap at 2:52.8–2:55.5 is the strongest replay peak.
