I thought that was a very well written article, with code examples and results. It was describing an interesting approach to a classification problem in a way that you could follow and reproduce.

You're right. That was unfair and mean. The article is actually pretty good -- as you say, nice examples, code snippets, and some history -- and I shouldn't have implied that it falls into the category of fuzzy and non-technical blogposts. The latter category does seen to be a growing thing, though.

I suppose people at all levels of discovery are excited by what they're learning, especially because we all possess a brain and it is intriguing to begin pulling back the curtain of how it might work.
