I just don't buy his arguments. He is approaching from a perspective that may well be his ... but isn't shared by me and also not by many other developers I've worked with. I don't have time to deal with it paragraph by paragraph but if you'd like to float some of them here I, and no doubt others, will likely comment on them.
