I'm sorry, that you feel that way, but instead of criticizing me as "insulting" and "indulging" in "pointless theatrics" maybe you could explain how and why his argument of "Myth of Ram" and O(√N) holds any merit.

Just by looking at his graphs you could argue, if it's about RAM he should just look at the the part from 10MB to 8G, which shows an almost ideal approximation to O(n log n). The L1 part is even better then O(1), which is curious in itself.

So please excuse me if i'm a bit sarcastic about the "groundbreaking" insights. "Myth of RAM" seems like an attention grabbing caption, and i couldn't help to comment in an according way. No insult or harm ever meant. If perceived as such i do apologize.
