The depth of an argument is limited by the shallowest person in the argument. Which means arguments are futile if there is no decisive conclusion reachable at a shallower level. If the proof takes calculus and your opponent only knows algebra your only real option is to arrange an empirical demonstration that will seem like magic to them.

Depth of argument limited by shallowest person, futile without reachable conclusion. Empirical demonstration may be necessary
