Clearly written articles, thx!

I’m n00b in Smart Contracts but they seem like interfaces to reading/writing to a data store.

If I didn’t totally botch what they are. Then I don’t really get why they’re “smart”. The pitfalls of regular programming, seem to apply to contracts. Seems like I could easily code a bug in a smart contract and have it t deployed to the network?? Or did I miss something?

You didn't miss anything, it's very easy to deploy a bug in a smart contract and why anyone using it for anything important should have their contracts be audited by a third party professional(s).

It's really just a marketing name.
