Good, substantive post, explaining (if in a bit many words) some important insights that give a quite interesting view of the whole situation. Good work.

However, similar to what lukeprog and shminux pointed out, this is quite the long essay, and it would be nice if it was tightened up a bit, at least in the form of providing a summary at the beginning.

To be honest, I didn't mind the length. It's nicely witten and it builds up a narrative of some sort, making it worth the read. A summary won't hurt, of course, but otherwise I see no need to shorten the essay.

I agree. I wish LW had enough content like this to publish it daily.
