This is much wisdom in this post but one can argue that there is too little context, or at least too little when viewed by an outsider. Like a poem, it seems meant for all people in all eras, rather than for some people, in some situation or circumstance. Just like a poem, it is long on truth, but short on context.

For a non-insider, who is it that you refer to when you mention "Lexi"? I can see the screenshot you added -- and I presume that it pictures "Lexi" -- but as you wisely said, screenshots can never replace argument.

Your assessment of the style is a fair observation. I can say it was intentional. We chose to keep the piece broad and less tied to specific examples. We wanted it to be less about laying out a specific case in this instance and more about expressing principles that could prehaps resonate across many situations encountered, even if that means it comes across as lighter on context.

Good point - I sometimes forget that my readers aren't a static list.

Lexi's story has been covered in this article.
