They say norman gates put together the article https://www.linkedin.com/pub/norman-gates/62/aa7/917 and submitted it to "The Emperor Has No Clothes" SA - for the short attack. They don't know for sure though because of S.A.'s anonymous author policy.
Pretty shady. Apparently he is submitting and commenting all over the place and may have circulated the article prior to release. He should probably be researched and called out.
