Stephen, fellow time nuts,
[DISCLAIMER] I should really know better than to attempt internet
discussions or comments first thing after waking up. Didn't stop me
today though (oops)
So...
Did I just make a fool of myself?
Was I mistaken?
I tweeted the author of this article, trying to point out that (as I

If someone more authoritative and/or experienced (or at least more
awake) wanted, please let me know if I was confused and such
