Debunking JimPicken’s “small talk” article

Why is the title in quotation marks? You aren’t referencing another work in the body of text, you probably think those make you look smart.

> Greetings, fellow humans! Today I shall enlighten you about the ancient ritual of small talk

Actually, you’re very wrong. According to [Kay2007] small talk was created in the 1970s, and it’s a programming language not a ritual, so it can’t be an ancient ritual. How can you be so wrong?

You know what, I think I’m done here really, how could you get anything right if you can’t get basic things like that correct? What people would post on the internet it’s unbelievable.
