That's not the middle - that's pretty near the beginning (look at your scroll bar).

But yeah, the author spends a great deal of time on the question and it's really interesting. I got maybe 20 paragraphs in before I realized "this is fascinating, but I need to be doing other things".

I intend to return later though, the author's style is great and this is a really interesting article.

I was surprised by the length of his writing, then said, "Ah, that's what he meant by unmitigated."

I think Devereaux mentioned on Twitter that this is the longest single post he's written; he usually breaks his more detailed writing into series.
