Looks like most people haven't read the whole article. I thinks he makes some very good points. The comparisons with other hard games are spot on.
All I'm seeing here from you is excusing bad game design with "but it's supposed to be hard" not realizing that there is a difference between challenge and unnecessarily punishing the player for playing the game.
It's no wonder that BB receives such high praise when the result of doing the opposite is receiving giant amounts verbal abuse from "real gamers". Shaming casuals is probably the last bastion for inbreads, now that they can't shame women or sexual orientations anymore.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
