To give the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was an intriguing title?

I didn't personally think that the style of the writing or the content itself was particularly good, but event sourcing has an almost narcotic appeal.

ES (nosql did too) has this wild ability to slip past scepticism. It feels right, I think because it milks some dopamine by feeling both simpler in a rewarding abstract sense and sufficiently (for Devs) complex in a day to day operations sense.
