Some DH7, or at least DH7-like thinking, can be relatively easy. For instance, there will often be gaps in someone's argument that they do not consider significant, or a general case they hadn't bothered to think of. You can't make it perfect, but you can patch it up a bit.

Point taken - in some cases, the significance of the gaps is more evident to the outside view.
