I think the article is more of a musing than a mathematical proof…

I mean who has the time to deep dive into 100% historical accuracy of these things.

I thought it was a neat look at a historical context of something mundane like a hyperlink.

The whole thing felt like "intern from high school searches for 'old computer screenshots' with Google Image Search and comment on what they found".

Hence the musing… when you muse about something you want to keep it loose exploration no?

Someone purportedly writing authoritatively for an audience. You don't get to just invent history out of whole cloth because you "don't have time." If you don't have time to write a factual article, you don't have time to write an article.

So now this piece of crap is out there on the internet for the rest of time, permanently memorializing completely nonfactual statements. Fake news. Literal definition of. Wonderful.

No one has time to bother caring about the past, and we should be grateful that someone half-assed it (at best)?

I strongly disagree with this premise, there are plenty of people out there taking the past seriously and "full-assing" it.

I’m not trivializing history just calling out all the pundits who armchair complain about people’s good-natured blog posts.
