Why is it strange that "cost" and "trade offs" aren't mentioned?
Personally, I never even expect to find these words in any text unless the author is either an economist or writing about something ostensibly associated with economics.

According to Wikipedia: > Economics is "a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services".[1] I'd say (loosely) "goods" == "stuff". So according to your expectation defined, you should've expected to see "cost" and "trade offs" mentioned. [1]:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics
