Thanks for the good words about publishing in media venues!

The article is meant to be simplistic, as it's talking in a language oriented for a broad audience, and has a 700-word limit.

I don't have a value of non-obviousness, just of rational decision making. To me, rational decision-making implies using a process that involves determining our goals, weighing the best ways of getting there without letting our emotions tip the scale, and making the best decisions to reach our goals. This is what I conveyed in the article, I hope :-)
