It's beyond clear that the quality of the introduction is questionable, but the ideas in the beginning of the column certainly seemed relevant to the story as the writer tried to tell it.

I'll go out on a limb here and say it was poorly written. Pompous, pretentious, rambling come to mind regarding the 'intro'. I went back and skipped the first 1000 words and it was still overwritten. More is not better.
He might have good points buried somewhere in the fluff.
