It reveals PG's MO. Which is to say edgy things at the expense of accuracy to attract attention.

The reaction is not directed towards business plans or whether PG has even read one or not (hint: no one cares). It is about his consistently proven proclivity to say edgy, inaccurate things, often which add 0 value. Then get upset that people are pointing this out on twitter. It's pretty annoying that he acts this way on twitter considering his previous essays have been ogod.



If his MO is to have fun watching small-minded idiots trying to misinterpret every word he says, then yeah, I guess the tweet does indeed reveal it.


Any publicity is good publicity, the more small-minded idiots you can rouse, the more attention you get. Bonus points if you act like you're "surprised" (in pg's own words) by it and have a cynical comment to make about Twitter as a platform.
