This one was new to me and a great read - thanks. Recently listened to a podcast with George Church and somewhere he noted that one should be very careful in stating what cannot be done or is impossible, yet the willingness to do so probably plays no small part in driving innovation. How it is done matters, however. The constant sniping that says "not good enough yet" is far less intellectually interesting than a blunt declaration of impossibility. Dreyfus ends up somewhere in between, I suspect.
