It did work, in a way. But I did expend some effort trying to tease out the positive parts from the presentation. With only a minute’s worth of extra effort you could have made it work better and I would be lining up here to give you status and respect for your contribution. I know you (may believe and or assert that you) aren’t interested in status or respect here but if you care about the value are trying to ‘work’ here then you should be. You don’t want your beliefs to be associated with ‘the kind of things that only social outcasts would think’. That’s what will happen if you go around supporting things that you care about while also acting like a prat, due to similar dynamics to the ones you described.
