Good point.

Scientific papers are usually written with a structure where the abstract and actual text are independent of each other, i.e. the paper doesn't presume that you've read the abstract and often ends up repeating some of its content in the introduction. I imitated that structure out of habit, but I'm not sure whether it's a good structure to use for blog posts.

It didn't bother me. Though this may just be beacause I'm already habituated to ignoring it after having read many journal articles.
