Write a bullet-point summary for each sequence and tell me that one would not be tempted to "dismiss them out of hand, even lacking a chain of arguments leading up to them", unless one is already familiar with the arguments.
Anecdote: I think I've had better responses summarizing LW articles in a few paragraphs without linking, than linking to them with short explanations.
It does take a lot to crosss those inferential distances, but I don't think quite that much.
To be fair, my discussions may not cover a whole sequence, I have the opportunity to pick out what is needed in a particular instance.
