Seconded. I think many posts in the Main section could and should be cut down by a factor of say 2 or 3.

Hindsight bias. Just because something can be summarized relatively simply in hindsight doesn't mean the same summary would be as convincing or even be remembered if it's all you read. It's the same reason math class isn't just you reading a book that starts with axioms and then lists theorems until you know all of math.
It can't be hindsight bias in this particular case, because I didn't read the post.
Did you not read any of the posts? My point wasn't specific to this post.
