As much as I enjoyed studying and working around science, maths and engineering stuff, I'm always glad there's also the playground of relationships to experience, share and learn from our emotions and feelings. This article seems to rely on some unwritten assumptions. But human psychology is really complex, you can't just assume things. Like there's some predetermined X% chance your crush also likes you and you just have to ask to know? But when do you ask? And how? Seems we have some control over that and lots of people learned that saying the right thing at the right time indeed matters. A lot. It's common sense there's (usually) nothing to lose to ask someone about a possible reciprocity of feelings. But we can be shy, or afraid by the change you could bring in your life, etc. and this is not some rational risk-averse mathematical behavior, just human psychology, always surprising and full of unexpected things ;)
