I'm not trying to slap you down, it's just that after a long day of molding LTs I tend to be short and to the point.

I think if the above stated concept is the thesis than you can probably go a little further to develop it. And, again, I'd use the full URLs so one can see the variety of sources that you've used instead of cross-referencing each and every one.
