Since it happened in 2011 I assume he has had his eye on a contingency plan of that nature for a while now.

I get the point. It's clearly implied in the piece and in the fact that it's on the HN front page.

My point is "it doesn't matter and I don't know why I should care". I'm more interested in rational (not fallacy-centered) responses to his thoughts.
