That is a kind of strange thing to title a post hosted by the corporate blog itself.
1) If that's actually true, then both Mongo's marketing department and its technical writing staff have been doing a really, REALLY poor job for years.
2) "You don't know nuthin', dummy!" is not a great lead-in to correcting people's misconceptions.
It also appears to be the case that what I knew about MongoDB was actually true all along, and most of these "myths" are just Mongo trying to redefine the terms or problems to be something they're not. :-/

On the other hand if you look for reasons why mongo db is bad by searching "mongodb wrong choice" or "mongodb bad" and you find this post, by the company itself, it'll likely be kinder to the product than the posts from other blogs.
- smt88 6y ago> You don't know nuthin', dummy!" is not a great lead-in to correcting people's misconceptions. I actually disagree. Lots of companies have to rebrand, especially when their leadership and/or product have changed. The core problem here is that the article seems to be an attempt to fix Mongo's reputation through misleading PR (e.g. using different definitions of words than everyone else in the industry), rather than technical solutions. It's typical of Mongo as a company, though. They don't have technical merit and try to make up for it by trying to convince us all that the sky is green.
