I agree with you. I beliebe that many people are trying to emulate papers like Vapnik's SVMs in an attempt to appear as ground-breaking because, well, the competition is enormous.
There isn't clear distinction between the engineering aspects and the theoretical aspects, as the article said, it looks as if we are trying to get approval by mathematicians so papers become a convoluted amalgamation of different ideas and more often than not actually provide the worst of both worlds.
