This article is perfectly reasonable …except for that first paragraph, which is honestly one of the most disjointed, off-kilter, and oddly phrased things I've read. The tone of it is in complete contrast to what follows, like it was written by a different person.
It's like someone is about to serve you a nice meal but not before saying "You'll probably hate this, what with you being the kind of person you are."
But, like I said, if I can purge that antagonistic first paragraph from my mind, I can take on board the points in the article. I just wish I didn't have to do that kind of retroactive adjustment.

Perhaps you are trolling Harris? It's fairly typical of his style. Then again, he does work for a rather well-known ink house.
