Whenever I read a post like this, I was too naive to think "this is how Steve thinks about this topic", but now I realize he is writing lopsided articles looking at issues from a single/narrow perspective and leaving out pieces on purpose to stir the pot, generate discussion, to polarize people, to bring awareness into focus and also perhaps to create linkbait.
This is my theory of course. I don't know if he is doing it on purpose or not, but it makes sense.
Whether it is done on purpose or not, being unaware of the nature of these posts will lead to much confusion and you'll undoubtedly be mislead. In fact, I am fairly certain that much of the discussion in the forums is because of this.
Well at least this blog has the disclaimer that it is for smart people, right? :P
