I'm strongly resisting the urge to send this link to everyone I know, but I know that it would be taken the wrong way.
No, I know that it would actually be interpreted correctly, that is as critical of positions that some people I know take as both self-evident and personal. This became apparent when a friend and I were discussing Edward Tufte's criticism of PowerPoint and Peter Norvig's hysterical reductio ad absurdum approach to that almost omnipresent software.
We were laughing at PowerPoint, at least in part because Norvig and Tufte are both funny, and there are apparently some things that should not be mocked. We succeeded in giving offense.
