That's pretty much it. However, one should be very careful about saying things like "white male nerds need to..." as it's rarely so simple. IMHO it's best to avoid defining a group and suggesting what they ought to do, to the extent that it's possible. Better to say that Scott Aaronson is wrong, and why.
