This was a good rebuttal to the original article. It's always interesting to see how someone in the media puts spin on a story and then hearing from the original source how far off base they actually were. This hype machine is what's led to sites like upworthy and buzzfeed, both of which are clickbaity nonsense. Only by calling it out can we fight against it.

It's not a rebuttal, it's a critique on the title choice and the interviewer's approach.
