I think it's an eye grabbing title, but not really honest, as it changes from 'beauty is bad' to 'why has it failed us'. It's a question worth asking, because obviously answering it would be progress. But, I don't think anyone is actually arguing against Occam's Razor, or that simpler question solving more, is the goal.

I read the article, and I don't see any insightful answers, perhaps we're supposed to buy the book? Or perhaps people should devise stricter criteria for theories to be experimentally demonstrable...
