Stumbled across this today and hope the link works - would be interesting to read your thoughts on this. Those that know me will probably guess where I stand on the viewpoint written in the short article - but will add mine when we see what you might think about it, Always a subject that raises 'lively' discussion on here but hopefully it will remain relatively polite! If not don't expect me to get the huff and remove it! Let me know if link doesn't work and I will copy and paste from the editorial comment.
