That might explain that they're not really novelty seekers but it doesn't negate the point that they're just early adopters. The article goes to some lengths to make these customers look bad but do they also buy products that later succeed? The article doesn't clearly say.
Moreover, How do you distinguish an early adopter from a harbinger? I'd argue that there's very little in this article (as presented) that helps with that.
