Amusing but unilluminating. These analogies seem divided between banalities that were already well understood before computer science even existed (e.g. "pipelining", which wouldn't have been a big surprise to Henry Ford) and fairly tortured parallels where the computer science concepts don't really predict anything useful. Hate to be a reflexive critic but many of us in CS who were around for the 90s got a bit weary of those in our profession who decided that anyone with a bit of tech knowledge was now a big authority on practically every damn thing - economics, social science, politics, sex, you name it.
