truly laughable,
also when your primary screen is a 27 inch 1080p wide panel display as he seems to have in the picture, you probably aren't feeling as constrained as most people with their 4 year old low res 15 inch laptops.

I, and lots of others, find it quite reasonable. Any counter-arguments besides the quick dismissal?

Well, I work on a 15 inch laptop and don't feel constrained. And lots of people work on 13" Macbook Airs and the like and feel quite focused and OK. It's not like it only applies to people with 27" monitors.
Sometimes I use one monitor and sometimes I use two. I perceive less friction when using two.
"when I use my second monitor (which I put twitter and other inane distractions on) I get distracted by it. Therefore 2 monitors are bad"
no way!
My argument is "When I have my editor on one screen and my debugger/docs/browser in the other, I get more work done than if I had to alt tab every 5 seconds. Therefore 2 monitors are good"
Considering we are comparing anecdotal evidence, I'm going to go ahead and say my reasoning is a lot more coherent.
The authors problem, is that if he sees no productivity decrease or he even sees a productivity increase is that he had no business using multiple monitors in the first place. (And considering this person is a journalist, I don't see why he would need more than one half of the monitor for word and the other for his research)
