He may be right about that, but it doesn't change the way we write articles! :p Yeah, it's definitely a case of synthesis gone bad. I understand what he was *trying* to do, but he fails miserably. Especially jarring, I think, is the inclusion of the images between paragraphs. I kept wanting the images to "fill in the blanks", and when they didn't, I became more frustrated and confused. There's just a lot wrong with that piece, I think. They've been doing some weird stuff over at DO lately; I hope this trend dies soon.

Of course, it's also just old-fashioned, I guess, to think that people should have a grasp on the rules of language before they begin deconstructing them for artistic impact. Or, in other words: typo much, buddy? That’s just ellipsis abuse.
