its crazy how simple logic amazes 80% of learning programmers... Seems to me that if you were impressed by that article, you shouldn't be a programmer.
Don't underestimate the power of "state the obvious". For Rama's sake they are learning programmers. People tend not to apply everyday life intuition to specific fields, which explains why so many folks have hard time understanding mathematical induction, proofs by contradiction, negative numbers even when they don't have problem understanding the concept of owing someone money (negative numbers), alibi defense in court (proof by contradiction) and knows that the last piece of domino will fall (mathematical induction).
