I think the argument is that people wont get paid 75k to 175k for relatively simple work much longer, so this group will see their salaries and prospects dwindle in the coming 10 years.
He asked about careers in computer science, and so I laid out the truth. If you want to get offended fine, but reality is reality. People need to understand careers and plan accordingly, the 75k - 175k group is under increasing pressure from abroad. I tried to highlight that whilst keeping the post brief. Also, the 175 is often in very high cost of living areas, so its really not as much as it sounds.
