  24. The very heart of your writing while sounding reasonable initially, did not work well with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you managed to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and you might do nicely to help fill in all those breaks. In the event that you can accomplish that, I would certainly end up being impressed.
