The author had some valid points. i.e., Christensen cherry picked cases to support his theory. There are many cases which contradict the theory and she supplied some as convincing counter examples.
That being said, I don't really know what the point of the article was. She didn't offer an alternative, just kinda shrugged and said "you can't predict the future," which seems like a cop out. At least Christensen was trying to make sense of the world while she was basically just saying it is hopelessly chaotic so we should proceed with our lives and businesses with no plans because there is no way to predict anything. That seems horribly nihilistic. I mean, sure, Disruption Theory has some issues. But that doesn't mean you should do away with theory completely.
