The article is "ligatures are always wrong for everyone in code" and your position seems to be "ligatures are wrong for me and people who are reading my code in their editor". I don't think anecdotes of cases where ligatures fail support a case for them being wrong for all people and all situations. Personally, I've never had a single instance of them doing something dumb in 2+ years of using them. Never a single instance of them creating any ambiguity or failing to add clarity to my reading of code. Dumb in "theory" might be smart enough 99% of the time. Just in the last couple months, I had to review code without the aid of a linter and they were invaluable.
