I think there's generally selection bias about what part of an exposition makes the "a-ha" hit in two ways. First, your a-ha moment may not be the same as someone else's, but you're less likely to observe theirs. Second, your own a-ha is likely the product of a larger production than the moment itself of which you're most attuned to.

A good mathematical author must be guarding against both of these selection biases.
