I was surprised to learn at DConf that "trivially obvious to the most casual
observer" was an unknown expression. Googling it shows only around 10 hits, none
predating 2005.
I learned it at Caltech in the 1970s, where it was applied to concepts and
proofs that were exceptionally difficult to follow.
I suppose that from now on if you hear the phrase, you can conclude that the
source is from the set of:
1. techers
2. D programmers
