Nice take, though a little difficult to shake off the feeling that he set out to make the case he did.

Because you said you got the sense that it was a deliberate take-down as tho people hide the fact that they write such things deliberately and pretend they just happen.

Well, I guess I am hinting, in that case, that this may well be a case of the *unintended* hatchet-job. I don't know enough one way or the other if it was deliberate. That okay? :)
-
And it should be okay for me to 'get a sense' that it may have been deliberate. From what I mentioned. I would recommend that you see the tweets that followed that 'inform' this sense. Do you have a problem with my being, possibly, wrong? :)

Yes, this just interested me because it seems to imply that sometimes people write critical pieces by accident but, in fact, I can't think of a scenario in which that could happen. The writer has to make an argument. The editor has to understand it. They know what they're doing.

Ah! Critical pieces certainly do not happen by accident, but critical pieces can come across as hatchet-jobs, even if unintended. And that is what bothered me. Maybe I'm too sensitive to bias? :)
