write for a specific preferably defined audience. Original post needed what you have in the reply above, your context of use cases.

rational arguments vs emotional. Well there's a time and place for both but you made the right choice.

Straight line of development? Stayed on the track, check.

Anticipate possible objections and deal with them directly, well ...
