Don't you mean an outdated fact, since it was true.

Also true of SVN. I'd argue it is more true of SVN than Git, but whatever.

You gave so much leniency to subversion for half-truths earlier, but you're going to come down on Git for this? `rebase` does not destroy history. `commit --amend` does not destroy history. `filter-branch` does not destroy history. The old commits are still there. You can easily find them with `reflog`. `reset --hard` doesn't even add new commits, just changes where a branch pointer points.
As identified by others in this thread, this is really cherry-picking the issues and totally ignoring some major flaws and drawbacks specific to SVN that led to DVCS's in the first place.
If it wasn't already obvious that this was a biased piece, you include only negeative experiences with git in your "further reading" section.
