To be fair, you've provided equally little justification for liking the article. I don't see why only negative opinions should need justification.

If anyone can jump in, I liked the Chekov's Gun of how the car decides what counts a person. That was inserted smoothly enough that I didn't wonder at the time of reading it if that information was going to turn out to be relevant towards the end.

You could argue that grandparent's criticism was presented as the more objective 'poorly written', which suggests a lack of skill on the author's part. Whereas the parent seems to address the style of writing, which is more subjective and less demanding of citation.

Yes, but that doesn't seem like a very strong point. "I found the article poorly written" would likely also be equally objectionable.

OK, let me rephrase- I find this is a great discussion topic and I personally find the article a bit hard to follow.

It's not an article. It's a sci-fi short story.
