No it doesn't. I think you're just confused on fundamental mechanics.

  That's rich. The lack of understanding of the fundamental mechanics is exactly what makes this article shit and your comment along with it. But do go ahead a school me on this PLEASE.

    To user: phpnode that replied to me. I can't reply directly to you but that's a fair enough point. I was avoiding doing so before because I didn't (and still don't) think this article is even deserving of being picked apart. I would be happy to do so for the sole benefit of users here though. Just give me a little time to get back from doing some errands and I promise I'll clarify my grievances with the information in the article.

I always find it suspect when people claim that something is so bad that they cannot find a single concrete thing to criticise it on. I'd suggest you start with the thing you believe they got "most wrong" and go from there. Otherwise this comment seems to lack substance.

  Oh there's an absurd amount of concrete things to criticize about this article. I just don't see why I should be giving free editorial services and in effect encouraging what I consider to be blog spam infecting a site I love.

    Then your comment isn't constructive. This is a discussion site, meaning we discuss things, telling us a potential problem with the source is a great discussion topic. Taking unqualified potshots at the article doesn't provide a jump-off point to any discuss worthwhile.
