I'm pretty sure every craft has some form of this same discussion. It's a really weird thing spectators of any craft get hung up. Where she gets micro managing and macro planner is beyond me. Pantser and plotter are the terms most people have been using for 20 some odd years. Plus, pretty much every writer is a gradient between the two. I've never read or heard anyone beyond the fanfic/wattpad crowd think it's a black and white, one or the other writer type. This whole article sounds more like someone met a published author for the first time and is trying to talk about "secret knowledge". I think Brandon Sanderson does the sharpest, fastest discussion between the two methods, pros and cons, then moves on because in the end "it doesn't matter which you are". Adding "the psychology of.." is super damn pretentious as well given theres not a lick of data collection, just personal anecdotal meditation on the topic.
