He _does_ mention Markdown, and specifically how it was designed to be human readable. But he lumps Latex with XML and HTML in that they are rubbish to write in. He mentions also how he hates himself for writing in even his simplified version of HTML when writing long posts. His argument is restricted to those looking to use Latex for questionable benefits that they do not fully understand.
