Yikes. It definitely appears that way at first glance, but this is my own blog (I suffer from having a name domain vs. my own name) The issue is that this topic came up with a bunch of people who frequent hacker news and they told me it was a valid topic and encouraged me to write it up. It ended up generating good commentary both on my own site and on HN. Its a subjective call, and hopefully one that can be rectified once the situation is fully understood.

I emailed PG but have not yet heard back.
