It's interesting to me that they don't play out any motivating examples, and instead just browbeat the reader with names and dates.
I think it would have been a much more effective piece if, for example, they'd presented a philosophical argument of Lame Deer's[1] or explained how the "Flying Man" thought experiment could inform our reading of Descartes[2].
