From the end of the article:

As I was writing this, Daniel, my two-year-old son, walked into my office, climbed on my lap, and said "Monsters, Inc. movie please."

To be fair he likely lost focus, checked some email, read another article and had forgotten his point and just thought "Meh, I'll go with it."
