I will piggyback on your comment. Absolutely stellar example of fine grain thinking which accidentally shows huge expertise and real life experience of the author. Regardless of type of a problem, the amount of thinking put into solving it makes the difference. It is thinking in systems, building complex mental models and finding edge cases which pays off, regardless of the domain / problem at hand. People tend to halt too soon in building mental models. When you are responsible for any given area, you better build a fine grained model. Obviously this is costly in terms of time, money, lost opportunity,... and there is of course a blurry line where you should stop building complexity of a model and just implement a solution. Life will come knocking on your door anyways, Aunt Entropy shows up sooner or later.

This is also why almost all news is non-sense for an expert in given domain. Basically... "It's not that simple."
