Sorry but I simply don't believe that there is a genuine person called "Eli Bendersky".

This sounds like an elaborate joke to me.

Wow, the Difficulty in Dexterity-Based Platform Games article is quite good. There is really so much to think about when you develop a game. It's hard to find that perfect balance of technology/difficulty/playablility/enjoyability etc...

I salute Victor for writing such an article.
