Agreed. Branches should be short-lived, anyway. If you need a long-lived pointer to a commit, use a tag. I love the "naming branches for modern git workflows" in the subtitle...

Well then, you should buy my e-book and Egghead course, subscribe to my tinypost, and follow me on Twitter. The principles of marketing don't change, folks.
