Hmm, lots of ink spilled just to rehash a weak argument against Han
Unification.

Beneath the misinterpretations and typos, I do see hints of valid concerns
about yet-unencoded Han characters (e.g., neglect/bias of/against Taoism
and old texts--the sort of thing he works with), which would have made a
better argument.

It wouldn't hurt for him to have newer and more advanced references, too.
