I rarely like analogies as they are not intellectual enough to satisfy my overly rational mind. I tend to roll my eyes at them, sorry.
Plus, not everybody goes to the dairy aisle of the veggy aisle without encouragement. So for good nutrition, we should have a bit of everything in each aisle. There goes your analogy! To improve people's welfare, current aisles are no good; they're made for grocers to make money, period.
So, if your website is to serve people's welfare, there should be a bit of everything on the same web page. That way, rven though someone chooses not to use some tools available to him, he is aware that they exist and that they work for some people. He is aware that it is an option for him, now or at a later time, when he is ready. Your website is not made for profit, so why keep the grocery aisle analogy?
I'm stubborn, huh? Sometimes it is a fault, sometimes it is a quality. Without it I would probably have killed myself during my major depression, but I set out to win the battle against this insidious disease. I'll leave it at that... I've said my opinion again and again. Now is time for me to enjoy life.
