I can see why Niall Ferguson was being extensively quoted in that article above, he does hold a position at Harvard, but also in the wikipedia article about him:

He is best known outside academia for his revisionist views rehabilitating imperialism and colonialism; within academia, his championing of counterfactual history is a subject of some considerable controversy.

Counterfactual history, also sometimes referred to as virtual history, is a recent[citation needed] form of historiography which attempts to answer "what if" questions known as counterfactuals.[1] It seeks to explore history and historical incidents by means of extrapolating a timeline in which certain key historical events did not happen or had an outcome which was different from that which did in fact occur.
