Good heavens. Reading the NYT comments I'm surprised at how many people take issue with the choice of words- "maker" and "manager," or assume that pg was somehow trying to degrade one or the other. Sometimes I wonder if there's a secret contest going on somewhere on the web or something where the goal is to get offended (on record, with full name) at the most innocuous thing possible.

I suppose it means that the main points of the essay are holding up quite nicely, on the other hand.
