This is a good and important article, but it would be improved by having a point. Examples of points are “Behold this compactly stated surprising truth I have now demonstrated” or “And that’s why you should do X” or “Thus the common belief Y is dumber than a sack of bricks.”
I find it interesting that about a year after this, there was a large thread discussing the trend of tacking poorly supported conclusions onto otherwise good posts out of a perceived need to give something a point. Complete theory bias maybe.
