Your comment is one of the best deconstructions of common criticisms of the potential of MOOCs that I've read. If you pastebin it (or add it to your blog if you have one) and submit it, I think it would be worthy of its own discussion. It's certainly more informed than the parent article.

Well, thank you. It's quite flattering to be praised at HN... but now that it's the morning after, I cringe at my post's unclear language and incomplete arguments.

There's a very real possibility that I'll take up a 40-50 hour/week job by summer 2015, which means I'll have time to read neglected books, study wishlisted MOOCs, and maybe even write something worth publication and discussion.
