I read it, Chuck.  Since you ask again, this is my set of thoughts:

It's a simplistic article.  It is written to get attention with the acronym and 
then goes through a set of trite arguments.  The author doesn't seem to know 
about Four Thirds DSLRs.  The style and tone is typical of the mandatory 
"humorous" article that seems to crop up in what passes for news programmes on 
US TV (and which is more common in the UK, unfortunately).

The cameras are really only slightly smaller than something like the E-420 
unless you stick to the pancake lens; and chappie the author doesn't mention 
that the zooms are too big to put in the pocket, or that the Canyon G11 might 
be a contender, because it doesn't fit with his story.

That's what I think.  Yes, it is still early in the morning here, what of it 
... ? :-)
