It may come as a shock to some of you that I should resort to this sort of comment at this phase of the discussion, and perhaps your fears are well grounded, but utilities can have either neutral or hot reputations.

No, you can't say you've missed out on anything, because you don't even know if you've missed out on anything. Also, "relevant" (which the OP doesn't mention), is about as easy to pin down as "intuitive." I think perspective is what history brings. Your comment has convinced me that it is necessary.
