That article is one of the most deeply disappointing to me - even as a composer who doesn't like traditional music theory. It starts with some criticism of traditional music theory I agree with, then goes and... reconstructs several aspects of traditional music theory anyway. Also has a common case of worship of the harmonic series but then conveniently stopping at stuff like 7:4, 7:5, and 7:6 ratios.
