This is a bit like the “don’t write your passwords” stuff. It doesn’t matter how obvious the arguments against it are — the author of this piece is not the first to note the absurdity of this setup — it is engrained as “best practice” and you will be fighting an uphill battle as a heretic trying to do anything else. I’ve lost similar arguments for similar reasons.
