Sorry, had to delete my first reply, I wanted to add to it. Yes and no. Look at the publication date. However, the concept is that machines can't actually get that really, really large. You lose efficiencies, you have structural issues, etc... But, it seemed salient as the ideas are similar. But, yes, it's largely meant as humor with a bit of seriousness to it. Give the full thing a read, of you want.
