The problem with taking that tone is that it is by no means obvious that the article poster actually understood the part of the proposal he is criticising.

That makes it very hard to take his criticism seriously, and doubly so when the tone is so condescending.

I have seen less criticism from the engineering community than from other groups, thought this may be due to a general reluctance of engineers to go on the record unless obligated.
