Reading this article reminded me of a book that Ann Coulter wrote a few years back about Darwinism. She dissected Darwinism and said it was untrue. She was on a talk show and when asked how she had a background to carry on a credible examination of a scientific theory she retorted "One doesn't have to be a restauranteur to be a food critic". But she failed to mention one needs to be able to taste food to be a food critic.
It sounds like the author thinks he knows Buddhism because he took a meditation course once and googled a few terms. Anyways good read. Definitely educational as to how a shallow understanding of something can give us a false sense of knowledge about a topic.
