Off-Topic:
There's two misplaced or missing words in just the first paragraph of that article - the sort of thing that happens when you're going back and rephrasing things.
I was getting ready to enjoy a good story, but was immediately punished for not just skimming instead. These mistakes happen to be really easy to catch for everyone but the author himself and they will trip up specifically those readers who are trying to pay attention.
Since even major professional online publications clearly don't hire editors anymore, maybe they should at least adopt a policy of having co-workers proofread.
