cracked Greenspun

I have enjoyed reading Philip Greenspun's often-provocative writings on many things -- software engineering, photography, politics -- for years. He is a very interesting character: a part-time MIT computer science faculty member who ran a company where Amy briefly considered working, which flamed out during the dot-com holocaust. He's famously arrogant, but he's also often right.

This article is pretty cracked, though. I don't know what is going on in his head.
