this explains things significantly better than the article, which seems to be little more than dragging out a surprising-sounding headline with a pretty obvious concept

The reason I went to the trouble of writing it was that many, many people in both business and the finance industry do not agree it is obvious and a good portion do not agree it is true, and they take actions consistent with those beliefs, which harm themselves and others.
To be more specific, the article mimics the topic of a counter-intuitive "surprising" truth (like, for example the goat problem; or flaws in human cognition), while letting the reader down by making an obvious, easy to understand truth unnecessarily complicated.
"Clickbait light"
That you think something is obvious is a fact about you, not about the world. People are not downvoting you because your English has any problems. They are downvoting you because they you’re wrong and arrogant.
