I don't see the point in those "myths", as they appear to have been defined after the fact. Why not defining progress as what it is? I'd prefer a message like this:
"We're able to do X!"
What's the point of using the myth-variant of this message?
"We debunked the 'myth' that X is impossible!"
... especially if most of those "myths" actually were never stated before?
The point is that 3D printing hype is so hyperbolic, I actually took several seconds to read that first part about underwear before realizing that it was a spoof, because it almost sounds like the kind of thing that 3D printing enthusiasts might actually say. Snarky humor is a dangerous slippery slope in online forums, but it did make me laugh.
3D printing enthusiasts are eager to draw analogies to the personal computer revolution. However, another plausible analogy is something like the Segway "revolution". Discuss.
