Sorry again. I still find it bizarre that a man of your so many talents can't "do" it's and its. Still - doesn't make you a bad person! I think I've got alcoholic psychosis today. It was Pride Scotia yesterday, and I seemed to get involved in the apres-Pride. My penultimate paragraph is very rude. Sorry again.

Of course not. Don't devalue your honesty Peter! As for the title of that post, I'll take a stab at saying it's the problem of trying to decide the value (personal measurement) of something when you have NO insight into why people assign value to it. Why is Twitter popular? I have been using it for my own reasons, other people will have theirs, we each have a value (a reason for using) assigned to Twitter, but I don't know why anyone else uses it, so their value is opaque to me. Yes it, and a lot of articles like it, are simple statements wrapped up in verbosity. Doesn't make them uninteresting to read or ponder, and no, I don't "fall" for all of them. The next question is how you get from being a mathematician to a journalist! ;-) Delete? Of course not. Don’t devalue your honesty Peter!
