i guess more explicitly since this feels surprisingly interesting to me, just making an argument explicit at all steps is (i) not so much fun for readers (I think it comes off as tendentious), and (ii) also not as close a representation of how thoughts actually occur to me

one could imagine a continuum arguments, from formal to literary so, say, many math arguments involve a series of perfectly defined steps from proposition to proof, whereas literary arguments might tend to appear to be more reliant on allusion and metaphor
