A "a fun, let's make some provocative predictions type article" sounds like something very unprofessional to me. Also there seems to be a suspicious pattern of claiming exactly that after such an embarrassing prediction is made. I doubt the same would be claimed if he had happened to be right about the internet and the information economy.

Knuth was published in the very unprofessional Mad Magazine. What's your point?

Knuth wasn't wrong. His potrzebie system is detailed and consistent. ;-)
