Starting from the second sentence: "there’s a burgeoning, alternative model of programming and computation that sidesteps the limitations of the classic model, embracing uncertainty, variability, self-correction, and overall messiness. It’s called machine learning" All the way through the end: there is nothing there which is even remotely within the realm of being even partially correct. It's sort of like when Gladwell yammered on about "Igon values" in a New Yorker article, except worse.
