What a bizarre bait and switch. Starts talking about browsers allowing malformed HTML and uses that to draw conclusions about allowing certain types of people.

My god, and we thought those english teachers were idiots when they insisted we should learn things like reading comprehension and metaphors.

I understand what the author is trying to say, and I agree with the second half of the text, but the link between both halves is tenuous at best.

[whycombinetor]

It's a poor metaphor. Real tolerance necessitates intolerance - see Marcuse. What is a browser going to do, send malformed HTTP requests and name-and-shame any server who refuses to respond? Servers vs. browsers is not the same type of relationship as people vs. people.

Not to mention that the author's metaphor is implying that certain types of people are malformed.

So these certain types of people should not be allowed? Or what are you trying to say here?

They are saying the logical structure is ill-formed.
