Gilberto:
I've been in these forums for a while and have patiently listened to
explanations of the concept of Progressive Revelation. I don't feel
like you need to explain it further. And so when you say you want to
explain why you believe in it, it comes off more as an attempt at
prosyletizing than anything else.
