I broadly agree with the points made by the author but I still wish he hadn't written them. Where rhetoric, examples and logic would do the trick, he resorts to snark, hyperbole and personal attack. If he wanted to be a paper-tiger villain for fans of UBI, he succeeded admirably because every argument he's made can be shot down by inspection.

Which is not to say there aren't plenty of arguments to be made. He just resorted to name-calling and fantasy instead.
