Obviously saying it is not obviously true is false if 0.999... == 1.0

Can something be true and not obvious?
Obviously not.
Which is the point in using the word obvious, obviously. Namely, using it to feel superior or to not provide a better argument.
When I use the word, the point is to call out the fact that I think it's obvious, so if others don't, they can explain why. Not to forestall any discussion.
Anyone who uses the word differently is doing it wrong.
