I'm not saying they are insignificant. I'm saying: I DON'T KNOW.

   Given that I don't know, I'd like to move to something that I
   *can* wrap my mind around.

   And... by the way, "You can't get to the big picture without
   considering the small picture", isn't a universal.

   Shall I find a fallacy that suits the occasion? I'm sure I can.
   There's one for EVERY occasion, like a Hallmark card.

   There's bias here. Without understanding the bias, there's not
   much point *for me* in going through the details *yet*.

   Once I comprehend the bias, THEN I'll happily go back and
   discuss details, if the bias does not invalidate the need for
   the details.

   I go from big picture --> details.
   You go from details --> big picture.

   Neither way is wrong, in my opinion. I'm being pragmatic, so
   that we are not stuck in an endless loop.
