I liked it, it's always good to have an example, it makes reading more pleasant, and it helps to update with the info (not to understand what you are saying, but to propagate the new knowledge into your belief network). Or at least it does to me.

I entirely agree with this, but am writing a comment in addition to an upvote of the above just to make my appreciation towards Kaj for the Dr. Zany thing more salient to him.
