Three comments: (i) Pablo is the one deserving most of the credit for this; (ii) Pablo still thinks that I deprived the article of enough publicity by focusing our recent posts on our upcoming conference, so this post is a way of compensating that; (iii) Kevin Coates also wants to take credit for the surge in downloads given that he recommended the piece at a conference in Poland, but since he is now a competitor I won’t give him any 😉
