By education I am an industrial engineer. I also am a hobby historian, read I like reading on history. As a result, the industrial revolution and historical impact of manufacturing technology is right down my ally. I jave to say, I love it when historians, and those come with all kinds of secondary expertise, try talking about post-industrial technology (and sometimes earlier one, generally zhose are easiwr to understand on a superficial.level, but then some e.g. Roman engineering feats are hard to get without a proper engineering or crafts background) without a solid knowledge basis. Results range from hilarious to ignorant to outright embarassing. Not sure what category the article, and the paper, fall in. I'll settle for hilarious.
