Why it works
The first three seconds promise three reasons and tease an unintuitive last one while the icon assembles. Although there are only two cuts in 47 seconds, 19 internal graphic changes keep the presenter shot moving; the RAM diagram around 0:10 coincides with the strongest replay peak. A one-thread contradiction at 0:20 becomes a question and resolves in an I/O multiplexing diagram around 0:38–0:42.
