WebGL Considered Harmful (for Silverlight at least...)

How can you post this WebGL Considered Harmful with a straight face when you got a page which describes exactly the same thing using a proprietary technology of your own? The Future of Microsoft Silverlight.
An interesting citation from this 'future' teaches us it will contain an "Immediate mode graphics API allows direct rendering to the GPU.". Thanks but I'd rather trust WebKit or Mozilla's abilities to develop appropriate sandboxing than some proprietary monstrosity from the people who invented ActiveX plugins. Even the meager excuse that OpenGL ICD drivers could be less secure than the DirectX drivers controlled by Microsoft is just nonsense since Chrome actually runs WebGL using a DirectX translator on Windows platforms.
