In my opinion it doesn't hurt to re-state common sense sometimes, particularly for 2 reasons:
1. We have so much going on in our head it reminds us that we can simplify it down to a more basic concept. In layman's terms, "get out of our own heads".
2. It provides external validation that our approach is correct. Seeing it stated in Scientific American and knowing that other people such as yourself also adhere to this "common sense" logic validates my line of thinking.

- iamcasen 8y agoI like how I was down-voted for simply stating that it is common sense. You're agreeing with me! I didn't say the article was bad... haha.
