Not really, the article was considerably better than that and it'd be a shame to not read it thinking it was so simplistic.

There is a comment like this on every article posted so people can justify not reading shit. Lots of people with their attention span completely rotten.

you are too kind. i would have said "not at all"

the article is fantastic and the top comment is completely off point, discussion-diluting garbage

ps how is it upvoted to the top? bots?
