Respectfully, I disagree with it being obvious. I'm an experienced user, and I did not find the output at all obvious. The problem is that the meaning of the "home" folder, i.e. the folder at the top of the listing, is overloaded. It contains a sum of ALL of the sub folders, plus a "phantom" group

I understand, but the output does not indicate that the used space is directly *in* the home folder. It lists /home/reuben as being 100%, and then the summation underneath (the subdirs) adds up to only, say, 50%. It is not clear that the home directory itself has files that are taking up the space.
