Hello Elo,

Wow, thanks for an in-depth piece of feedback. Since I'm trying to convey these ideas to a broader audience, I think I can definitely learn to improve the coherency and style of what I write so that it's more understandable to more people.

Thank you for pointing out both the implicit assumption (which I had overlooked) and the grey area, too.
