I tend to agree with Burnt State there. If you've got a solid case it shouldn't take ages to explain it or at least present enough of your best stuff to make people willing to hang around to hear a little more. It's true that in some cases there are various historical, cultural and ideological biases against taking marginalized topics or events seriously. I've run into them myself. However if after repeated attempts at bringing your best evidence to bear you're still not making your case to others, it may be time to reevaluate your premises rather than expand your appendices.
