 It's a long read, and not very well written (imho), but I generally agree with the points he makes.

It's an immature technology (relying on what a former RBT contributor called "frog snot") but it has its place.  That place is observed trials, with ridiculously fat tires under ridiculously close to zero pressure with a lot of irregular bashing and twisting.  Tubes pinch and shift in that environment.  The more your riding mimics that, the more tubeless works for you.
