Okay, I am just going to point out that that the title suggest that this post is about being nice not about suggestions how to introduce someone to rationality but I guess this is more of a nitpick so I am retracting that second paragraph of my comment.

Agreed. IMO the title feels like it's writing a bottom-line.

Of course, I see nothing wrong with the conclusion and argument per se, nor with that style if the conclusion was really arrived at through a careful process, but I tend to prefer general titles about the subject, rather than describing the solution and exposing the problem it's intended to solve later in the text.
