Yes, some things in the article is quite obious, like the fact that Tsunku doesen't pick out "perfect" girls. Most girls of morning musume have some "handicap". This is true for most idols though, at least the young ones. This increases the innocent not-being-able-to-take-care-of-myself factor. Even in the singing style of morning musume this is quite clear (the whining sound to it).
