Not sure, although it seems like you didn't read the article. Also you don't disagree with _every_ article of mine because I argued exactly what you are arguing in this comment a couple years back: http://ianstormtaylor.com/skeumorphism-on-the-ipad/
ok, so I read the article and I see what you are saying now. Knee jerk reaction on my part. I guess they should have removed more of the real world references than they did.
