Do you have some specific refutation to the arguments made in this article? Otherwise, it's unclear what the value of your comment is - you could literally make it about any claim of any side effect of any technology!

Doesn’t come off as shallow or a dismissal of the work. Maybe tangential, but OP is just voicing their disapproval of the common tendency to dismiss new ideas, often motivated by fear or stubbornness rather than a real and unsolvable problem with the idea. The comment is critical, and at worst it implies the article fell into an unfortunate pattern.

Agreed.

Edit: after RTFA, I definitely get how both OP’s and my comment could be seen as unnecessary.
