No, I am talking the Data Guy, who the source of much of the initial quote.
Shatzkin is a consultant who has been bouncing around for years. He is famous for predicting that Libraries are a thing of the past back in 2011, so its not exactly like his every pronouncement is the word of God. Consultants get ahead by sucking up to their audience and saying provocative stuff, otherwise no one would write about them. If he's reduced to quoting from the Data Guy, then odds are pretty good he doesn't have the inside scoop on what the real numbers are. Garbage in, garbage out.
