It is, as a blog post, an effective way of communicating the idea though (because it’s very emotionally charged). I read this earlier today, liked it, and had a bit of fridge logic since. Obviously it’s dumb to communicate a datapoint upfront when you don’t bring it up again at all and follow up with “details later”.
