I don't think it's an issue with my argument but I do think the difficulty of grasping the bigger picture is a major issue.

It can be reluctance to understand why you're doing what you're doing. It can also be because no one cares to explain it to you. Most of the time it's probably between those two extremes.

And yes some times it's bloat. But rarely all of it. I don't have a solution to this.
