The problem with common sense is that it is not common, and rarely makes sense.
As such, a statement like "imho it is obvious" is almost certainly wrong. How often do we hear "it stands to reason", only to discover that said reasoning has missed the obvious and come to a conclusion diametrically opposed to empirical observation.
