The point you are taking issue with is completely tangential to the main point. You could delete that sentence and the rest of the post wouldn't be affected.
Now I don't read ESR except when you or someone links to him on twitter and it sounds like it might be interesting (it rarely is). So maybe I'm missing something here. But do you actually assert that any of my claims are false? Or are you merely attempting to raise your status and lower mine by criticizing ESR and associating me with him?
