This isn't about the content of the article, but the way it's served on the Web...

There are some serious character set problems. Everywhere in the document that a so-called "smart quote" tries to appear, it comes out as a stream of garbage like "’". That makes the page look like a mess. The cause is that the document is coded in UTF-8 (a Unicode character encoding which uses multiple bytes for non-US-ASCII characters), but is served by the server as "iso-8859-1" (a single-byte encoding). Then it attempts to use a "META tag" to say what it really is, but under the HTTP standards the server-sent header takes precedence; thus, the standards-compliant browser (Mozilla) that I use renders the document as iso-8859-1, producing the mess that I see.
