  ** New-style promises no longer have a 'notify' operation!
   ** https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise
   ** Observables are the only way to have a stream.
+* Promises are good for representing a binary success/fail operation, while
+  Observabes are better suited to shuffling data, particularly streams of data.
 * RouteResolvers only want a single value from an observable.  Unclear why.
+* Observables not observered are not executed!!
 
 * Use 'declare' to tell TypeScript about global, legacy/non-exported 
   variables, e.g. opensrf libs.
