While this is true, the analysis in part one is really bad and that sort of incorrect hand-wavy line fitting should be discouraged.
Part two is much better and is based on sound principles. The only complaint there is that it's a bit misleading; if you arrange your memory in a sphere, you get access times as the cube root of N for a very long time before you start running into information-theoretical limits based on the area of the memory region.
