I think the author comes across as tone deaf for two reasons: 1. Burying the lede, by tacking the affirmative conclusion on as the final sentence, 2. This quote reads as pompous, not humble: > I assume that the Arrow developers will eventually read my 2006 paper on compression in column-stores and expand their compression options to include other schemes which can be operated on directly (such as run-length-encoding and bit-vector compression). I also expect that they will read the X100 compression paper which includes schemes which can be decompressed using vectorized processing.
