I think it was too long and too "deep" but at the same time geared towards a nontechnical audience and trying to explain by analogy, so it's going to lose people that don't already understand and annoy people who do. What I like about the link I posted is that it's approachable to anyone who understands python and some basic preliminaries. It provides understanding to an audience that's potentially capable of understanding. The Ars article tries to do to much and I expect will rarely succeed in giving someone who can't understand my article (I posted it I didn't write it) an understanding of transformers.
