Basically, Mattson's post argues that the semi-famous academic study, "When Choice is Demotivating: Can One Desire too Much of a Good Thing?" scribed by two social psychology professors back in 2000 is far more relevant to hardware companies today than anything written by a computer scientist or mathematician. To his credit, he makes a darn good case for this."
