On the contrary, it seemed pretty right on to me. Additionally, it 
illustrates perfectly how the minds of the Buchlas work:

"(the block diagram for the 261e would be like: [knob input] ->
[compute frequency]->[sine wave]->[some super weird shit happens with
vactrols and opamps]->[audio out] ... hm, not so helpful...)"

This is great. It says that y'all are capable of making extremely 
complex circuitry, but aren't too full of yourselves to call it "super 
weird shit."

And this line:
"people have a damn hard time
modelling a stupid vacuum tube... "

spells out exactly why we still need to have so much analog realm 
hardware for making musics, even if it's partly digital.
