Titled incorrectly, not informative, very needlessly complicated

Loved the title and hoped for some useful and interesting information, but didn't find any. Lots of history, but too much barely uninteresting, long-winded verbiage that doesn't relate well to the title. Also, too much name-calling. Very opinionated without supporting facts.

Dumb
