I enjoyed his writing, but what is wrong with the warning? The analogy with Murdock is wrong - it would apply if Murdock had accidentally erased his own hard drive or something like that. He is giving advice about IT, not life.

Even when he was still alive, I already sometimes felt he is following an ideology that might end up hurting him. I feel the same way about many young people involved in politics. Unfortunately political movements have the tendency to swallow people, and make them give up their lives for the (presumed) greater good rather than their own benefit.
