It was the hot insights at it's time. When looking back and depending on what you already know these insights have either been chewed upon for a long time and aren't that fresh any more or are still quite interesting. Thanks for the short summary of something, which is rather common knowledge today in our circle and thus makes perfect sense to wrap up in a short sentence instead of going into the full length article.
