From the article: "But truly that is the message of the Andersen folktale, that power begets the capacity to inspire delusion in the masses."

Does the "Andersen folktale" refer to Tinkerbell? Has nothing to do with the merit of the article or his argument, but Tinkerbell was a character invented by J.M. Barrie for Peter Pan and not a folktale at all.

I believe the author was referring to The Emperor's New Clothes, which he also mentioned in the article
