Nice work, Nathan. This type of writing tends to suffer from reporting bias: people report the stuff other people got right. Could we have a couple of examples where you or people you know (and who don't mind being quoted) put a lot of time and effort into decisions that didn't work out and then try to spot the patterns there?

I think this is a really important area. Thank you for raising it. I want to write something on your article on prayer, too. I think I'll call it 'Why the atheists aren't entirely wrong about prayer.'

Thanks. I think if it had been a blog, I would have done more like that, but it felt very hard to do in wedding talk, both because that's a bit negative and a bit technical.
