Some of the comments here are unintentionally hilarious. The original article is a pretty good attempt at creating an alternate interpretation of the story (akin to, say, Grand Unified Pixar or Darth Jar-Jar). This is its own genre and some such reinterpretations are more successful than others and all will likely fall short insofar as they attempt to overlay an interpretation on a story that was not intended by the authors and necessarily are running contrary to authorial intent, with narratives that are richer in content and ambiguity being the most successful in allowing for this sort of reinterpretation (and that's leaving out intentionally ambiguous narratives like Total Recall).
