You're making my column oversimplistic by oversimplifying it.
My main argument is not that we can "prevent interference." It's the following, quoting from the piece:
In practice, there are still limits on how many users can communicate effectively, depending on available frequencies, power, competing uses and the design of transmitters and receivers. The benefit of open spectrum is that it's more efficient than the traditional licensing model, and that gap will widen over time.
There's much more detail in the issue of Release 1.0 that the column was based on (though unfortunately it's not available for free).
And no, I don't claim to be an engineer... which is why I rely on engineers like David Reed, Tim Shepard and Dewayne Hendricks who've done work in this area (both theory and practice).
