Not hard to parse, but you are arguing a bit besides the point. It is a solid recommendation given the point of the article. You are of course free to disagree, but then don't argue about the recommendation, but simply give your argument. Regarding the Hand on stove, it isn't any more "objective" than this a recommendation, there is simply more subjective evidence of it's being bad. Qualitative arguments like that are seldom useful in my experience, focus on the evidence, as I believe you did further down in the thread.
