Irrefutable evidence at last! With this new found knowledge, I can even blame forgetting my password on imbalance!

Theres indeed nothing incorrect here. Maybe you should have defined "hard" with another name though. People might confuse it with the real 'hard'. Also your calculation of "hard"-total is really interesting. I would have thought it might be a sum instead. Is your result still "hard" or is it "hard"^4? Wouldve been cool to have a definition of the multiplication of the "hard"-factors that appear in your formula for "hard"-total as it doesnt seem to be the typical "Product of measurements" that you also quoted in the wikipedia article.

Interesting analysis. Now, there are other factors involving this. You're neglecting that in battle, Z doesn't have many special abilities in early units, whereas T or P have Stim, FFs, etc, etc, etc; thus making the management of the army a lot more complex.

Honestly, I don't know if OP was being serious when he posted this blog or he was just trying to be funny. If serious, the analysis is just straightforwardly simplistic and dumb, neglecting so many other factors.
If funny... Well, it just wasn't IMHO.

Well I switched to Zerg from Terran and I find it pretty herpderp.

I think OP neglected to mention that:
Protoss supply buildings are stationary and can't be interacted with.
Terran supply buildings can be lowered/raised, so there's some micro there. So we give them *2 weight.
Zerg supply buildings ARE FRIGGING UNITS THAT HAVE TO BE MICRO'D and also dropships. *3 weight.

Zerg gets twice as many bases. Zerg is twice as easy

Spending 50 minerals

**Redacted, this overlaps with the next one**

Zealot vs Zergling

1 Zealot = 4 zerglings

Zerg gets 4 times more units. Zerg is 4 times as easy.

Final Formula

[Make worker] 2 / [3 minute mark] 2 / [zealot v ling] 4 = [Total] 1/4

Q.E.D Zerg is 4 times as easy to play as the other two races
