I generally agree with you (though "stupid" is a bit harsh)but I have to say this is interesting coming from Michael Arrington. When you watch Movies or TV you find most people suffering from OCD are depicted as...well...insane. But the truth is the same OCD that can ruin their lives is also what makes them a success. Look at Howard Hughes for instance. Like it or Hate it TechCrunch is the most popular tech blog in existence and there's no doubt a lot of that is due to Arrington's obsessive nature. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people shouldn't get treatment for OCD. I just think it's important for everyone to realize that, as people, our virtues and our vices are often intertwined. And more importantly every virtue can become a vice if taken to the point of obsession.
