My understanding of this argument is that because of cancers many and possibly infinite forms there is no 'cure for cancer'. While I can appreciate the mathematical correctness of this point (sure did take a long article to get this across), it seems largely to miss the point. If cancer rates become low enough that they only kick in at 120 and that people begin dying of other things, whether a small group of people continue to die of cancer vs the rates today is effectively curing cancer, even if its not entirely complete. Another example of why this sort of thinking is missing the bigger picture - many people today die not because we don't know how to treat something, but instead because they can't afford the treatment.
