Yeah, I couldn't get over the bashing either.

He came up with a way of counting huge counts without exceeding the write
cycles of the EEPROM he's using.

He shared it - and everyone hits him for the huge potential count it can do.

The fact that it does considerably more than he is likely to need is surely
neither here nor there. The technique may be useful to someone else.
