i understand what summary is for. what i don't "understand" is why he chose as the target a book that's 24 years old in a fast moving field. actually i do understand: it was a strawman! i agree with your assessment.

why summarize and criticize a book published in 1986?

Did you see where he admits he's wrong? "these are logical possibilities". IE, Penrose made a logical argument, and he didn't cover all the cases. Maybe this one is clearer: http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/04/27/nnp/17540.html
