A side of effect of this is to reinforce the importance of writing about the Obvious, because things seem obvious after we've learned them and we literally have trouble thinking about not knowing/viewing things in a certain way.

Especially if the Obvious turns out to be wrong.

Sure. Either way actively talking about the obvious is useful.
