I agree. I liked the article a lot from that point on, including (after that point) the first part of the article in retrospect. At first, though, it felt more like someone being silly for the sake of being silly, which can be also worthwhile but I'm glad I kept reading.

Edit: That article and the next most recent one (a short story, written by a different author)[1] were enough to make me subscribe.
