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.

Making up magic tricks just to persuade someone you know something they’re incapable of learning is almost never worth it.

This would mean that democratic elections won't work unless you maintain or increase the "depth" of the electorate

Are you saying it pays to be (pretend) the most shallow person so other people invest time doing magic for you

Now wondering if this is how I "win" arguments by refusing to dive deep.... I don't think so, but new insecurity unlocked

Depth of argument depends on the shallowest person; decisive conclusion futile without understanding. Demonstrate empirically for those at lower level of comprehension

Depth of argument is limited by shallowest person. Futility without conclusive agreement. Empirical demonstration essential

Depth of argument is determined by ability of participants to understand and engage with complexity. Without mutual understanding, reaching meaningful conclusions is impossible
