Hopefully you are able to summarize -- that's what I try to do. Just asking for people to blindly trust you is a big ask, for two reasons. First, experienced people often develop mistaken beliefs. They try something and it happens to work, even though it might even be wrong in principle. Without any rationale, how is the person you're talking to going to judge whether the beliefs you've developed are correct? Second, even if they're willing to trust you, just getting the rule handed down does not grow them as an engineer. I might prefer to make a mistake and learn than take the right path without understanding the reasons. In fact, I have done so, intentionally. So, again, IMO, the goal you've mentioned in this comment ("figure out how to tell them `trust me...`") is an incorrect goal, and one you should not pursue.
