Steal the plotline of "Feeling Pinkie Keen" from My Little Pony and fix the ending so instead of being about taking things on faith, it's about updating on the cumulatively overwhelming evidence that the quirky character's predictive ability actually works.
It's not about taking things on faith, it's about accepting that you don't have to know the inner workings of a model to realize that it's a good predictor.
Or is that what you just said? I guess I need to watch the episode again, the moral must be different than what I remember.
