I'm sorry, but "you don't have to worry about any of that" right after
a description of a massively distributed database is a much stronger,
more specific statement than your strawman, and it's also demonstrably
untrue.

Where, specifically? You seem to be reacting to this statement:
"""
I'm starting to think that the "GAE takes care of the messy details of
distributed systems programming" claim is a bit overstated...
"""
You may notice that I'm criticizing GAE's advertising, not its
implementation.
