You're right, I reacted too fast to that particular sentence. I hear a lot of comments from people new to meditation (or even afraid to start) that they think it's the goal to clear your mind, while that's actually a result of another goal (being mindful). The way of phrasing it has an effect on how hard meditation sounds to people. I didn't mean to dispute your point, I mainly wanted to clarify it for others. But you did indeed explain the observation part well too.
