I'm not addressing it because I don't have any objections to it. I understand and concede that PV can/will become attractive in the developing world long before it becomes (if it ever does) attractive in the developed world.
My objection is to the casual dismissal of the quantity of PV build-out in the developed world that's implicit in PV reaching the cost/efficiency tipping point for the developing world.
e.g. It takes an awful lot of people buying panels at $2/watt for them to ever hit $1/watt. And though, say, Africa may go on to generate a much larger percentage of their power from $1/watt panels than the US ever will, I don't think it's fair to say the big pile of $2/watt panels is "not a big deal" in the US.
