Too many of the comments here are just restating points made in the article without advancing on them. I know "did you read the article?" is verboten on HN but people should at least attempt to respond to points made within and move the discussion forward.

This article in particular is weighing up and contrasting various viewpoints so very little value is added in repeating one of those viewpoints unless you also explain why you think the interpretation originally given was lacking or flawed.
