Nice write up. I think you're getting to the really juicy nits now with traits and structs, this is what really tripped me up coming from a Java background. It's still something I struggle with.

Maintaining a consistent internal state is incredibly powerful as Cialdini explored in his book. People become immune to contradictory evidence.
