I think that's where the "well-executed trolling" comment comes in. He essentially whipped everyone into a tizzy by complaining that a framework for helping to get better performance out of I/O-bound web services by handling I/O calls asynchronously doesn't work so well if you take a CPU-bound monkey wrench and jam it directly into the gearbox. I suspect that it worked so well because the idea of using Fib to talk about performance is kind of built into the collective programmer unconscious. The whys, hows, and whats of using Fib to talk about performance are somewhat less well-entrenched, though. So there's room to trip people up by getting them to go, "Yeah, this sounds interesting, and I recognize all the words so it probably isn't technobabble!"
