I was no longer able to take Malcolm Gladwell seriously on _any_ subject.

How does your ad hominem attack add to the discussion of this article?

I'd say it adds to the discussion by pointing out that widespread respect for anything Mr. Gladwell has to say is misplaced. Though I can't deny it's at best tangential to the specific point at hand. Well spotted. [no really, guilty as charged.]
