The mayor is not introspective, because he is bold and makes claims with utter certainty.

The journalist has leapt from the mayor’s behavior (boldness, making claims confidently) to judging that he is not introspective. We need to know that this behavior disqualifies a person from being introspective.

This matches our prediction, and it is necessary. If (A) is not true, then there is no reason to believe that the mayor is not introspective.

It doesn’t matter whether these assertions make politicians popular. (B) doesn’t have anything to do with what allows or disallows a person from being introspective, and that is what we need to know.

It isn’t necessary that boldness and confident claims are conditionally related. What’s necessary is that at least one of these things prevents a person from being introspective.

We do not need information about what guarantees introspection. We need information on what bars introspection.

We do not need information on what makes a politician unpopular, or what guarantees that a person is bold. The conclusion determines the mayor to not be introspective, and so we need to bridge non-introspectiveness with the traits and/or behaviors of the mayor.
