As constructive criticism: as much as I love reading your writing (I do!), it's very refreshing to see a post that doesn't re-explain every concept you've ever posted about before getting down to business. This post was perfect in that regard. More of that please!
I look forward to the next one. Have a great time camping.

Ross, this is incredibly helpful feedback! Yes, I have a terrible habit of explaining the entire theory from scratch every time. I think it's partly because, in the early days, the growth trajectory here was quite steep, and I was intensely aware that most of my readers hadn't read any of the earliest posts, where I laid out the basics of the theory. So I would explain it all over again at the start of a post, so they could follow what followed... And then next month ANOTHER few hundred people would subscribe, having missed that explanation, and so I'd feel obliged to do the same thing again in the next post... But that's become silly at this stage.
So, you are right. I shall take your advice, and just get stuck into the new stuff.
