I’m very tempted to agree in general, and I’ve seen a lot of bad takes that cured my Gell-Mann amnesia but on this particular take, I think they are sensible. I would know because all this was my job in 2015. It’s partial because it’s based on contained leaks, there’s couple of inaccuracies, but not much more than what your team mates would make. I think the reason why it adds up is that it’s starting from a good point of view: Why is that job hard? There seem to be no easy fixes, why? What the people trying to fix are struggling with? That’s universally a good question to ask anyone and a great way to get a nuanced point of view — far better than the usual outrage at “Why is Facebook so terrible?!” which is best described as scapegoating to make an obvious reference to Thiel’s PhD advisor.
