tl;dr: A rebuttal to Brennan Kenneth Brown's critique of PKM tools like Obsidian, arguing that Brown mischaracterizes Obsidian's marketing, shifts his own thesis questions mid-article, and cites sources that don't actually support his claims. The author suggests Brown's rapid-writing workflow (750 words in 20 minutes with research filled in later) led to weak sourcing, and contends that tools like Obsidian shouldn't be judged by their loudest influencer-users but by whether they enable individuals to build systems that work for them.
