Not disagreeing, but wondering what your main complaint is.

I'll be honest, had you not posted the link, I never would've read
this paper.  I think firewalls are a mature enough concept that a
Gartner or Forrester paper on them is irrelevant.  It's about as
useful as a research paper on bread.  I mean, honestly, who's shopping
for their first firewall?
