I think the above quote says more about the intended audience of the piece than it says about the author. That is actually the exact line where I stopped reading. However, I didn't stop myself thinking, "Man what an idiot this author is," but rather, "Ooops I accidentally started reading an article about something I do professionally, but intended for a layman audience."

Obviously this is an entertainment piece, not a technical write up. If you think the content isn't right for you then read something else.
