Preempting virtually all uses of the underlying abstract idea is a rationale for not making abstract ideas non-patentable, not the test for what is a non-patentable abstract idea.

I don't disagree, but Radar in fact, cites it as one good test for whether something is a non-patentable abstract idea. Repeatedly.

If I'm understanding you correctly, he's using it as a necessary test for being an non-patentable abstract idea rather than as a sufficient one?
