I have a rejection in which the Examiner admits that a claimed feature is not taught in any of the cited art but simply says that <claimed feature> obvious because one would want <result that comes from performing the claimed feature>.  It seems to me that this isn't enough - shouldn't the Examiner at least take official notice?  Is there any MPEP citation that would be appropriate for traversing this rejection?
