"In fact, many of his examples of what to use are just other descriptive statistics, median is no less a descriptive statistic than the mean is." I think the author would fully agree with this. He is saying we should use more easily understandable descriptive statistics. "I think the problem is not so much that descriptive statistics are bad, so much as they are not particularly useful when they lack context.

Whatever you say publicly is likely to be stripped of its context and to be received by an audience that does not understand the complexities of your field. The answer to this is to be change what you say, not to change the world, which verges on impossible.
