Missing the obvious conclusion

I think the author of this article has failed to note the more significant aspect of the experiment here:
Okc_ebooks creator Sam Kriss made a fake female profile on the dating site OkCupid, through which he responds to unsolicited messages from men with quotes from @horse_ebooks, the surreal Twitter bot that streams nonsensical snippets of text. The result: dozens of conversations from horny men desperately vying to have sex with a robot.
There is no question that it is pathetic what the average man will put up with in his pursuit of sexual gratification.  But surely it is more significant, and more troubling, to discover that dozens of men cannot tell the difference between genuine female communication online and a surreal Twitter bot streaming "nonsensical snippets of text".

UPDATE: Stickwick said Devil Bunnies....
