Huh. No, I don't see it as preachy at all; that perspective makes sense, actually. It's like a flowchart, or a web. One decision has two outcomes, and from those two outcomes there are another two outcomes each...if you take them as individual situations, you can see it as two choices, but looking at it on the whole, it's a network that leads up to those situations, right? ...Sounds like a domino effect. Flap of a seagull's wings creates changes in the atmosphere, those changes end up altering the path of a tornado...looking at the big picture vs seeing the city for the skyscrapers.
That said...I suppose there being a "pass/fail" criteria when it comes to unexpected/uncontrollable circumstances might be a bit harsh on my part, but, that's probably because situations like that tend to be so high-stakes in my line of work. I'll consider that, though; that's an intelligent way of thinking about it. Color me impressed.
