It's pretty remarkable to see something non-technical (e.g. broadly-appealing/humorous marketing) put into a framework like this.
I just wonder if it dilutes the value a little bit. I've always enjoyed the jokes in their emails, but now that their cookie-cutter nature has been revealed, I might look at them differently.
