To offer a different perspective, I actually really appreciated the brevity of this post and wouldn't want it to be too much longer. One or two more examples could have been useful, but I don't think it's a fault that there aren't more.
This post makes one very insightful point that I hadn't thought about before in quite those terms, and it makes it clearly and succinctly and gives me lots of food for thought. Definitely worth an upvote from me.
I think many of the posts here err on the side of being longer than they need to be by giving too many examples with too much detail, or by cramming what should be split into multiple posts into a single post. I'm not saying every post should be like this one, but I think there's a place for the longer five-course meal posts, and there's also a place for snack-size posts like this one, which can always be developed into longer more definitive posts later after benefitting from the discussion in the original.
Yes, to some extent I was suggesting "and a pony" :-)
