I've been cooking and programming for a long time now and wholeheartedly agree with everything you said except the default oven temp thing. Baking is a cargo cult of chemistry and I'd say most folks are well advised to follow thos

Doesn’t he admit as much in the article? He doesn’t claim the NYT is the first to discover his identity, only that that are big enough to for that revelation to be pernicious.
