Raymond Chen has been writing his blog for more than 20 years now, almost 7000 posts. It is a treasure trove of information and first-hand account. I can see an argument for peer-reviewing every post, but I think it would have limited (a lot) the amount of "from the trenches" knowledge we get from him. Your reference to the Parallax Propeller is domain-specific and a bit anachronic; you're talking about embedded computing, while he is talking about general-purpose computing a few decades prior. The point of the post is that general-purpose computing was different in the past (in a sense, that's the theme for the whole blog! that and compatibility hacks), so going this far back is necessary.
