Let's say we're imagining what Uranus would look like. I draw a picture, and say it should look like a "fuzzy Jupter." But you ask, why should it look that way? Do you have a reason? And I say you should be confident, but don't provide an argument. By the end, I start talking about how it might look like Saturn.
Then I come along and say, "it should be obvious the fuzziness is because it is far away."
That final statement is not even wrong. It misses the point.
