The article was a fairly even mix of real issues and more hand-waving. Its going to take 2 hours to traverse the hyperloop terminals? Where did that come from?
The Hyperloop document was obviously putting a flag up a flagpole to see who salutes. It had a few man-hours of estimations put into it. It looks like that, obviously.
So the numbers need improvement, sure. Its nit-picking when you get all emotional about it and trash the author.

I think the 2 hours is the rush-hour driving time to get from the more populous station of the proposed HSR to the less-populous station for they hyperloop.
