The author writes that there is way too much connectivity, and hard to escape it (except for a plane ride, which he thinks is awesome.) I think that's an argument FOR offline web apps, and FOR self-control.

but being unable to escape connectivity makes useless for most users offline web apps...and i think having to use offline web app (a term that really sounds wrong) would just add frustration

No; people just need to take control of themselves and use offline web apps or desktop apps when they want to work on just one thing without distractions. Plus, the battery is going to last much longer for both phones and laptops that way.
Really, how many times in your life did you find yourself offline and needing to use a web application? And if you did find yourself offline most probably you are without your pc or your mobile which means you end up using another device.
Oops! That means no access to that trendy offline application you installed the other day!
Everyone is moving inside the web, not outside it.

P.S And I think now I am getting it! Thaaat was the sarcasm from Google with GMail Paper!
