Thanks Chris. I agree.

My own comment when I posted this to my colleagues here at BU was: "We’ll see,"

I think that the article is over-optimistic about the present.

Yeah, Stuart, maybe *their* crisis is past (since they started it, more or 
less), but the *discipline's* crisis has barely begun yet. If you hang our in 
their twitter bubble (as I do) it seems like there is a huge amount of renewal 
going on. When I go out into the "real world" to give talks about this stuff, 
though, there is still a huge amount of ignorance and a not-insignificant 
amount of denial and resistance (where the whole thing is said to be nothing 
but the product of "cyber-bullies” and "data-thugs"). 

It is going to be a long, hard slog -- and the barbarians may well break 
through the wall and raze the castle before we are able to get our house in 
order.

(My article about all this is under review as we speak.)

Best,
Chris
