what's his name again?

Count how many times the name Robert X. Cringley or some variant thereof occurs on this page.

Cringely needs a new tin foil hat.

It's because of trademark. But don't rule out SEO and pure egotasm. Wikipedia provides some background.

Cringely isn't built of pure bullshit like Dvorak is (I would guess 75%). And unlike Dvorak, he's made some good calls over the years. But he hasn't made nearly the bank Dvorak has either. Let that be a lesson to you.

Dvorak's more your garden-variety idiot. Cringley brings the crazy.

I'm unclear whether you mean we prefer to honor the stupid than the insane, but American politics seems to back you up.
