The former article from SciAm is intended for the "general reader", whereas the latter paper from PASA is intended for readers with a firm background in science & math.
As always Tim you have provided good explanations to the questions asked. I have read the links you provided and although some of the points stated in these links have been quoted to me before, reading through the links have cleared up some of my misconceptions too!
