Humans are able to fill in the blanks on arguments that they already understand and do so implicitly without even noticing. So, if you make an argument the professor agrees with and is familiar with, you can skip steps, and the professor will still grok it. If your argument is novel or unfamiliar, missing steps appear as logical leaps, even though those same missing steps appear as extraneous detail to somebody already familiar with the argument.
