The essay would probably improved by starting with some form of definition for inefficiency.

From what perspective would it be improved? Because there's a reason there's no definition in the essay...

For me it's very difficult to follow the text without asking myself: "What are you arguing at the moment? What's the position against which you are arguing?"

You're starting to see the weakest point of the whole essay ^_^

But that makes it hard to critique. "The strongest argument" was not a very strong argument at all, which put the rest of the article on very shaky ground.
