I enjoyed the article. Fun read.
I do have a different take on one point. Oftentimes when I face a thorny problem, I find it helpful to take a break. While I'm working on something else, my subconscious mind is working on the thorny problem. Often enough, when I come back to the problem that baffled me initially, I either have a solution or a good way to move forward. (A better way of moving forward than if I had tried to bull doze my way through the problem at first glance.)
Using your fun analogy: Animal trainers often have to finesse a problem. If you aren't getting the behavior you want, you take a break and assess the situation. Later you give it a try again, but with a different set up or different goals or different reinforcements. Effective non-verbal communication means meeting the learner (computer?) at their level, which might mean taking a break and thinking how to do that.
I'm probably pushing the analogy too far. I just thought I would make a point.
Thanks for the fun read.
