&g... surprised that you didn't attack the line that said "We can optimize for generic components because we can design intelligently." THAT's what I figured you'd jump on.-This is a better one to jump on: 
"But it also means the operating system is more vulnerable to breakdowns because even simple updates to a generic routine can be very disruptive," Gerstein said.
