More the former, though I don’t think that it’s difficult-to-understand in the usual sense—my impression is that it’s distinctly more subjective than that.
I understand that some people find monogamy aesthetically pleasing, and can write that off as personal preference and ignore it in general. You seemed to be trying to give a better model than that, but none of your examples really hit the mark, there. (Is the bit about cheating supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?) I’m actually somewhat inclined to argue the ‘noticing details’ point, even—that’s mostly a matter of having the opportunity to observe a person in a variety of situations, in my experience, and it seems to me that adding an extra spouse or two would help with that, not hinder it.
In the sense that it is very difficult to understand or that everything it says is obvious or some combination of the two?
