This is true, and yet, this article has none of those problems. In fact, to me it was an interestingly fresh perspective on the purpose of Null, and how explicit Null is just one possible approach to a consequence of programming languages that's ultimately unavoidable. And even explicit Null has huge variety in how it might be implemented, and that how your program interacts with the language's decisions around how to deal with Null/Maybe/Optional should be part of your design process and style decisions.
