Glaringly-obvious proof that is so easy to observe that even a clueless "thickhead" should be able to notice it.
In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Purloined Letter", Monsieur Dupin is able to locate the stolen missive quite easily in the Minister's study, even though the Prefect and his men had twice minutely searched said room, yet never noticed said evidense that was right out in plain view.

The little-known "counter-genius" to the infamous selfish-and self-promoting "fer me" physicist dude who began development of da whole nuclear-power/warfare mess.
Enrico Feryou was all "for you" --- i.e., he truly cared about the welfare of his fellow humans, not just about himself and his super-rich cronies --- and so he wanted to put a stop to nuclear research because it was too dangerous to the environment. Unfortunately, he had no "big business" backers the way his much-more-popular "fer me" counterpart did, and so his efforts to halt the development of atomic power and The Bomb failed, with predictable --- and horribly tragic --- results.

Where you disrobe to allow your employer to see and/or sample The Merchandise as a bribe/exchange for his allowing you to continue working for him, even if your past/present job-performance totally sux otherwise.
Though inherently less competent/efficient than her plain-Jane co-worker Miss Blips, the drop-dead-gorgeous Miss Buxley always tries her best to do a good job so that her male-chauvinist "dirty old man" boss, General Amos T. Halftrack, will let her keep her job as a secretary at Camp Swampy, and thus she will not be obliged to debase herself by asking him for a renude contract, much as he would love to have her do so.
