This could be evidence of the argument that a lot of what people have to say has to do with the magnitude of their thoughts and less the actual direction.

I.e., if I say, I'm really, really happy right now. A trained psychologist, or someone who looks at it objectively, might note: there is this issue with happiness that I'm going through. Similarly, all of the points in this blog post usually are introduced via the very opposite stance (esp. the latter two -- i.e., requirements are the most important thing except for maybe measurement). But you can actually learn things from people if you look very objectively at what they're talking about and less the direction of their conclusions.
