I read a couple of paragraphs but it seems like a bait and switch. Is there anything of Gygax in the post? The ebook doesn't quote Gygax and neither does the beginning of the article. Gygax had a strong authorial voice and I don't hear it in this. It seems like you just slapped Gygax's name on to get some hits. The categories were Gygax's, I found them to be helpful in finding the chinks in our armor, and wrote about what I thought of each principal. From where? What is your source? At the very least you should have the reference, otherwise this just looks like something you made up. The article as written appears to have zero to do with Gygax. I'm happy to suppose that somewhere Gygax did actually list those seven things, but without a reference or, better, a quote, your article is free floating out of context.

I stumbled over a quote and it resonated well with what I was thinking myself. I could had taken all credit for it, but I didn't; instead I dropped the biggest name in the industry. If we don't know what you guys discovered, and take it to heart, aren't we just reinventing the wheel anyway? "I stumbled across this quote, "quote," and it made me think...." is a fine beginning for an essay that is a riff of your own take on something. Great suggestion and it would have eliminated most of the other objections that have been raised.
