Yes. That is why the comment that an article was a "random mostly useless piece of trivia" stood out. These are Boo words, rather than reasoned criticism.
Got me. The reason is that, as I tried to explain the article to my family, they asked me "but what's the takeaway?", and I couldn't answer that. I'll add that to the article.
Maybe you could try it on someone else, but do it like this: 'we can't trust ourselves, because we rationalize at the drop of a hat. Here's a remarkable example from psychology....'? Do you think that'd serve as a good enough takeaway?
The takeaway should be something actionable. And "think twice" isn't good enough.
