Also promoted to the frontpage: I was a bit on the fence about promoting this post. The thing that convinced me, and that I liked most about this post, is that it took a fairly interesting piece of insight from a SSC comment thread and archived it, then tried to expand and explain it. I am heavily in favor of taking the infinite torrent of SSC comments and general discussion on the internet and crystalizing some core ideas from it into proper posts (though, as always, I would prefer a less poetic style, though I think the core point shines through well enough in this one). So, as an encouragement of that pattern, I promoted it to the frontpage.
