Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting so far. "Inessential weirdness" is something I've been thinking about for a while but didn't have a name for.

  The problem is, what seemed reasonable and essentially weird then, and what seems that way in retrospect, are very, very different. This is a problem for both sides of the coin. What is essential is in the eye of the observer, through the lens of their culture and time. Calling someone's drive 'inessential' is just cast8ng judgement by another name.
