Saying something is “obvious” without specifying an audience is meaningless.
(because obviousness is subjective and depends on the knowledge, experience, and context of the audience)

IMO means “in my opinion.” I used that phrase to express how the following statement is my opinion and not a universal truth. My “audience” in this case is myself.
I do that because otherwise there’s always a comment saying how things like “obvious” can be subjective.
I also used the word “pretty” to, again, soften the word “obvious” so that readers don’t think that it’s a universal truth.
