I approached that article somewhat adversarially and saw massive amounts of manipulation. I don't know if I could find a paragraph without unsupported emotional language. Ah, wait, second section (starting in the fourth paragraph) is mostly acceptable, if we let the small quotes count as evidence. But that's all I could find.

You know, you're right. This article is too polemical and anecdotal for this forum. In retrospect, I would not have linked to this particular essay.

I am impressed by your ability to say that, and wish I was as good.
