At least, that’s what I think Scott/Steve/John/Paul were aiming for here — humor.
That they collectively no longer possess any concept of what that conceit entails… is painfully obvious.
So, it comes off — to the sentient world, at least — as particularly deranged.
Scott probably only bounced this “idea” for a column off of Hinderaker, and Mirengoff. And given that those two have gone round the Aduhelm® (aducanumab) bend… well, the whole site now lately reads more like the recorded voice lobby discussion of a… long-term memory care facility.
Yikes. Unfunny.
And, actually pretty… sad. How the once slightly mighty… have fallen.
