I think that summary is accurate. When Mark posted this last night
(okay, it was last night for me, probably not for most of you), I
tried to read the post and figure out what he was actually saying...
and failed. Gave up on it and moved on. Got better things to do with
my life... like, I dunno, actually writing code, which seems to be
something that people who whine in blog posts don't do.
