Read that article yesterday.
The bad thing about it is to get a non-emotional view on the Whale story. Would love to see an article like this written by a French or German author. Oh, wait, they'd probably don't write negative strories about the A380. They'll pick on the Dreamliner instead.
Maybe there is currently no big need for such a huge jet aircraft. Only time will tell if it was a good decision to construct such a bird.
