This whole blog is just a regurgitation of surface-level wikipedia knowledge. All of these issues are very well known in the industry. Asking to solve all of them, perfectly, at once, is clear indication of someone who's never done product development.

Yeah, these kind of people are the worst in any kind of product ideation session. Nothing is ever worth doing to them because all they do is point out minute flaws the whole time. Contrarianism taken to a level beyond useful devils advocate.

Ultimately though I’ll at least give him credit for putting himself out here so publicly. Plenty of people are harboring private doubts, but he’s setting himself up here for potential posterity, up there with all the people who said the original iPhone would be a failure.

I believe the author has an extensive background in product development in the area, which is why I was surprised that GGP thought they'd never done it before.

As who don't work in industry (99.999%), it's quite informative blog.
