I actually liked the introduction to Observing Reality, but I did independently worry that the references to Sunk Cost, Anchoring and Wisdom of Crowds in this article were a bit ham-fisted.

I confess to a secret ulterior motive, which was to be able to link smart aspiring artists (but not yet aspiring rationalists) to this series and lay the seeds for greater interest in rational thinking. This wasn't my primary motive, just an additional goal I was trying to work in if possible. But I realize this is an incredibly dangerous secondary motive - if the result is a bunch of shoehorned in buzzwords that just detract from the result, that's bad.

I was fairly happy with how the earlier articles dealt with the issue, but if multiple people had the same reaction I'll recalibrate.
