Thank you for the long and detailed explanation, but I'm afraid that I
have very little understanding of what you're trying to say. Insofar as
you're trying to convince others of your point of view, you are going
to have to be much clearer.

accordance with your beliefs, but if you want to persuade others,
you'll need to be a good deal clearer.
