I get my first 0-point comment in nearly 2 years for that? You really think "frequently forgotten fundamental facts" was unintentional/necessary? It could have just as easily been:

  Overlooked truisms
  Oft-forgotten truths
  Commonly forgotten fundamentals

"Fundamental facts" is a stupid phrase anyways since "fundamentals" is basically the same thing.

This was obviously a case where the author was thinking, Ooh, I will look clever and poetic by starting off my blog post with a pointless tongue twister.
