"The Truth Is Simple"

Tone

Asserting that something is obvious, clear or simple instead of actually proving it. If you have to tell the reader your point is clear, it very likely isn't.

Examples

The reality is simpler and less flattering
History is unambiguous on this point
History is clear, the metrics are clear, the examples are clear
The path forward is not complicated.
And that requires something very simple, very old, and very missing: a platform.
