There was a time where stories like "Something completely inane happened, here is the break-down" peaked, which rendered a lot of people practically allergic to post-game analyses like this.

That doesn't mean that all of them are bad, and I really liked this article, and hope to see more.

I could see that; geeks/engineers can be prone to over-analysis. That being said, I liked this article and comments too; clear, concise and refreshingly transparent. Some of the worst post-game analyses I've seen seem to be where details are few (bad on the OP), then speculation occurs (bad on the commenters), and worst is when the OP comes and throws a tantrum (or similar) dragging the speculation down to a flamewar (although usually a moderate one by my standards).
