I did read the article. It's not objectionable, although rambling is certainly a descriptive word. 'Starts With A Bang' articles often get posted to Slashdot, and I'm often careless enough to read them. Whenever I want a cursory yet breathless introduction to yesteryear's physics news, with a provocative title, SwaB delivers.
It's B-grade science writing, written to be interesting and informative to a mass audience. It probably does fairly well on its own terms. However, I'm not personally interested in a remedial physics education, I'm interested in physics news. For me, that's where SwaB consistently falls short. Or, to be more concise, the blog is generally lowest-common-denominator physics writing. I am unpleasantly surprised to be met with contradiction and derision based on your reading of one article.
