Why do you believe that the fact that the critiques use education as an example is proof that the critiques are knee jerk/defensive reactions to disruption in a space, and not simply due to that being the industry that the author (given they are an academic) has the most experience/exposure in?

You're right, it is an inductive assertion based off the quality of the piece and its focus, the author's profession and the author's background so I'm uncertain about that. I'm more keen on highlighting the fact that I think technology is getting scapegoated as the enemy in academia because two groups of people see the problem differently and are talking past each other.
