6. I'll agree with most of your points and will look at Peter Ziehan. But there isn't just one "destination".

We really don't want the path from A to Z without understanding all the stops along the way (at least I don't).

The tangents are the context. For some of us, we may know plenty of some of these existing contexts and don't need the background info. I always learn something new whenever I have a conversation with an old friend, or a news report with a different perspective. Not all is useful but it helps me understand the environment.
