I agree that my post was a bit snarky—what can I say, I hadn't had my coffee yet. If the author is a high school kid, he has my apologies for the snark, and encouragement to dig much deeper into the subject matter as well as what is logically and rhetorically sound, and take another pass at his theory.

That said, there's an epidemic of know-it-all-ness in this industry, and this article doesn't pass even the most cursory of reviews of Real Information™. I agree that the analogy is commonplace, but the reason its an analogy and not a model is that it breaks down rapidly under scrutiny.
