what i recommend is reading the article, and then reading further.  that's what research is.  

i'm not here to give you irrefutable proof, just to give you a lead.  it's up to you if you prefer to ignore, ridicule, or dismiss the claim.  I guess you've made up your mind already.

but the people that have done the research are no longer wasting time arguing over "asic is a myth", or "giant botnet on middlecoin".  

people that know ASICs are in operation, and the rate they're being released and developed will modify their mining/investment strategies accordingly.  those who do not will keep doing the same thing.
