This article is so right on. I wish I had a billion downvotes for everything Friedman has ever published. He seems to think nothing bad can happen as long as your intentions are good, and his critical thinking faculties and street smarts are about nil.
Buffet and Grove have indirectly criticized his world view, but I wish more like the author (retired SVP of R&D at IBM, among other things) would directly call him out, expose his flawed world view, and replace it with some sense.
