Terrific article and analysis.
A minor stylistic quibble: Caveats about an author not having enough "time or space" to go into greater detail were accurate from the dawn of the written word until about the last decade of the 20th century. Here on the web, such an assertion is silly. A 500,000 word epic would still only need a fraction of the hard disk space occupied by the shortest Video Dog inanity.
So, please, unless Salon editors actually instruct their writers to limit their pieces to x-number of words--lamentably shortsighted, if true--no more moaning about space restrictions.
