Why? We already have an enormous amount of context and literal video. If you think bringing it up brings "nuance" to the conversation, just say why.


Context matters. A rhetoric trick/trap often used is to include context, but not complete context. That trick/trap is pretty much the only way I have seen:

used.

It a trick because people use the technique to trick people. It is a trap because people trap themselves with the technique, putting blinders on themselves.
