      For myself, it was useful to write down the general approach I took when solving problems. But it is useful because it was learning about myself, not because it is the same approach as the author here, and not because that is some magical best approach.

      I experienced maybe a minute of being "whelmed" or +1 out of 10 over baseline because I liked reading someone else that uses this approach. For someone who thinks nothing like me, I would imagine it feeling very similar to "draw the rest of the owl."

      I don't think everyone needs to think the same way. And if we did want everyone to think a certain way, well, the author's style would not convince many.
