I responded to the "content" level but not the "process" level quite deliberately.

Also I think the poster missed the point of the post as well, that is, did not formulate the problem with any coherence, did not have a developed enough "mental model" of the problem to formulate it well, and in some ways the community doesn't have the shared reality to discuss the problem.

The poster left a square kilometer to paint and I had time to cover maybe 0.5 sq meters so I got stuck in the weeds.

If anyone wants to discuss this stuff seriously, the material in this course is helpful:
