Gorman knows how to turn a phrase, and I personally was delighted by his "yips and yawps" line. And, he's got a point, as you admit in your post. Library education is a sacred cow, and like most sacred cows, needs slaughtering. Gorman knows how to get people's attention, and he's a fine practitioner of the Art of Rhetoric. That's a 1.0 skill that might not be appreciated by all the newer versions out there.
