I like this style of discourse. Here's some data, here's how you could prove me wrong, let's talk when you discover additional data. It's too easy to say something like, "well I see your data but since companies care about features not bugs and we can't rewrite everything in safe languages ... and I know 3 people who can write safe C ...". A statement like this does not disprove the author and in a way actually detracts from the discussion. Normally you'd need a moderator to keep people on the rails. It's neat to see the person arguing lead with their impression of what could further the discussion and invite others to participate logically.
