I can understand this reaction, but even a crazy pundit can be right twice a day.


But is it worth the time and trouble of figuring out whether this time it is worth reading? I have a whole list of websites and people mounted on the wall over my monitor who have been so outrageously incompetent in the past that I avoid reading them. If they have shown such a low quality of accuracy on things I do know about, there is no way I can trust them on things I don't already know, so there is no point to reading them. (Note I only do this for actual facts that were flagrantly wrong, I read a lot of opinions that I disagree with.)


Dvorak doesn't deserve the page hit even if he's right. His trolling methodology fills the world with uninformed hyperbole, which should not be rewarded even if it's occasionally right.
