> Being deceptive about Git's shortcomings Are they being deceptive? I'm not sure I see it.

  Not deceptive but I would say they're being hand wavy.

  The story about irrevocably losing data at least was not true (already admitted by the authors).

    I think I would give them that one, they were only able to recover the data because they got lucky, not because the system was designed to not destroy data. I would go even further coming from my infra background, even if you don't truly lose production data, if you have to reach into your DR backups that's a failing of the systems in place that come before it.
