The article doesn't say what disease causing "circuits" he was referring
too. 

If the Globe reporter didn't ask then how could either the reporter
or reader tell, even in 20 years time, whether or not the Kurzweil's
prediction was true? 

Its like the reporter doesn't care and doesn't think the reader will 
either. Ray Kurzweil gets a plug just for being Ray Kurzweil.
