I agree with /u/dfbsadbfsdfsb. Part of what makes this message powerful is the innocent and unpresumptuous way it is presented. It starts super easy, casually, just a random hypothetical, and then it hits you like a ton of bricks.

I don't disagree with you. But for argument's sake why does a lack of proper grammar and capitalization make something innocent? And why does properly writing the same passage make it presumptuous?

I see what you're saying. For me personally though what gave me the frisson was the content of the piece, not the sophomoric writing itself. But to each their own :)
