I have noticed this proclivity to quote Steve whenever one's arguments lack substance; by reading Steve's articles I have found that he has a strong charisma and thus can exerce (involontarily) a lot of control on people.
When you say what you've just said above, I tend to think of those people saying "but it's in the Bible" whenever they have to justify some oddity.
Your argument that "if this works for me, I don't need to know the reasons" seems valid to me, even though, it all depends on what side of the road you are standing: reality or search for happiness. I think Radical's first post was geared towards abrupt reality, and like him, I prefer to face reality, because I think it is always more beautiful, no matter how hard it can be.
One more thing: from Steve's past and posts I would say that he's a high-IQ/high EQ person, implying that he probably bypasses a whole part of unpleasant reality but he never lifts from the ground. Assimilating his ideas without the proper pondering and intellect may be dangerous.
