The one being patronizing is you, since you came here to question the article which you said over-egged it (whatever that means).

Just to question the article is not patronizing. I mean I don't believe its arguments support its conclusions in the end. Excise misuse of the term, explicate the history of the field in this way, but to excise the term entirely is to over-egg it. This is what I meant.
