But if the speaker does begin from the specifics, you throw a sly smirk and say “Oh, here is a naive one, who thinks that you can just change things in society without knowing the greater context.” The specifics are a slippery slope; you can always ask for more until it becomes incomprehensible or until the speaker runs out of knowledge about technical details. Effectively, you have locked out any possibility of learning anything new. Congratulations.
