Did you finish reading the article? Towards the end he admits that even he missed the boat. In my opinion all the snark was setting up for the fact that, even though he was so confident he had things figured out, he turned out to be completely wrong. The point is that no one can really predict how this will turn out.
- carbonica 15y agoPersonally, I think you're right, but you sort of take a risk when you go for hyperbolic sarcasm. I'm not sure how much of the first paragraphs he believes; much of it, if he did, somewhat discredits him in my eyes as an engineer (let alone as an unbiased source). The takeaway certainly doesn't depend on whether the preceding paragraphs are gospel truth, but one's judgement of the author's credibility, in my opinion, does.
