The previous comments have showed critical thinking and familiarity with the subject at hand. This is surprisingly refreshing.
I particularly agree with the response stating the conclusion has been stretched to the point of sensationalism; but it is good that the models and method of implementing systems are being reviewed. Finding problems and patterns to avoid is one of the first steps to improving system design. Also it certainly should not news to any programmer, I will admit to being one, that without adequate design, concept validation, code testing, maintenance and disclosure of the limitations of the system it should not be expected that the end product would produce reliable results.
