I agree that the article was definitely worth reading, despite the minor detour that was a turn-off for Mr. B. No need to get into petty arguments, folks, it was a throw-away sentence that's not worth the energy to debate.

Nothing enormously new for me in there, but I like the philosophy of recognizing, planning and mitigating real-life risks, rather than sexy apocalypses (how do you pluralize that anyway? can you have more than one?).
