This is a classic example of what passes for technical writing these days. Authors hide bias behind a pseudo-scientific figleaf, combining slogans and approximately relevant soundbites into a plausible article. Readers who "want" the statements to be true, believe that their beliefs now have technical legitimacy and repeat them confidently. Eventually the statements become "true" when they are said often enough.
This also happens in MS products; this sort of stuff has been the norm for VB'ers who know nothing else, for a long time.
Perhaps we should forward this to RG so he can issue a strenuous rebuttal. <g>

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
