I would add, as an aside, that the article does go well with the photo of Koch showing his slide deck to the Dalai Lama, as though to pay some kind of metaphysical penance for being a scientist. I feel like the encounter with the Dalai Lama has become a bit of a trope among the darlings of American academia. I remember seeing a lecture with Paul Eckman in which he seemed to brag about the number of hours he had logged with the Dalai Lama, not to be outdone in the breadth of his perspectives.
