It is well known that you pay a sweatshop in Southeast Asia to produce the posts with your byline, and that is why they make only a modicum more sense than on those ever-rarer occasions when you rouse your addled mind from its opium haze to abuse the language in other parts of the online world.

Has that stuff advanced to a point where it's at all comparable to psychohistory, where you can look at the data and predict pretty accurately what's going to happen next? If so, what sort of ramifications does that have for people that they're maybe not aware of? If not, why not, and will it ever?

The takeaway here is not that you should get super-defensive; it's not a huge deal. The takeaway is that we should all remember to ask ourselves if we know what the hell we're talking about before we hit the submit button.

But probably he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, since you would know the ins and outs of their relationship so well.
