That article has several mistakes. I pointed out two of them to the author,
and he promised a correction, but I don't know if it ever appeared anywhere.
The level of hostility toward "nerds" in that article is frightening.
I can't think of another peaceful subgroup of humans where a similar level
of hostility would be tolerated in a newspaper article.
