  The clue is in the first sentence of the article: "For my swan-song I’ll supply the faithful with a tall tale of the sort that induced Mark to invite me on to his blog. I’m sure he would have enjoyed the mixture of verifiable truths, multiple ironies, and fuel for nested conspiracy theories." It's just a bit of fun.

    This is honestly not clear enough. While the literal meaning of these sentences is perfectly clear, they are convoluted and sound exactly like the kind of nonsensical contradictory thing a conspiracy theorist would interject into his own rambling.

  The article is fractally bad, this shows up even in an insignificant detail. When the author inserted the Schiller quote into the article, he picked the wrong non-ASCII characters from a character map or something instead of simply copy-pasting from the linked Wikipedia article which is written correctly. Weird.
