If I understand the author correctly, he chose the hyperbolic model specifically because the story of "the singularity" _requires_ a function that hits infinity.
He's looking for a model that works for the story in the media and runs with it.
Your criticism seems to be criticizing the story, not the author's attempt to take it "seriously"
