How do you possibly get well-reasoned from this? He makes a bunch of assumptions followed by a deduction based on those assumptions. I can make any assumption I want then deduce a final statement from it - that does not make it well-reasoned. Oh yeah, I forgot this was HN where infamy weighs higher than substantive posts. Just because someone is usually reliable doesn't mean you take their word without question.
