Card thinking he knows enough string theory to criticize it is kind of
funny.

String Theory is not even close to being proved a fact.

And the relevance of this remark is what, exactly? It doesn't show that
string theory will collapse in ten years, as Card claims. It doesn't
show it has been useless--in fact it can't, because if nothing else it
has been useful to mathematics. It doesn't even show string theory is
wrong; that's just a pure assumption on Card's part.

Therefore, to try to use it as some kind of proof that
it all happened by itself, is disingenuous, at best.

This sentence seems to have no relationship to Card's essay.
