This was a pointlessly fluffy article that can be summed up with: "Flat design is a fad. Just like modern and postmodern movements have come and gone in art — so will this."

Well, of course movements change, so you could write an article as soon as a trend starts that its "dying."

More importantly, human-computer interactions is a relatively new area of design. How do we know that flat design will actually be just a fad rather than a paradigm shift?

You're right, it's an unsubstantiated opinion. I haven't seen grand examples of design swinging back toward skeuomorphism, though some of the more extreme minimalistic choices have been changing.
