This post wasn't written by AI (I didn't write it, but I know the people who did). The reason it's so short is because it's just a summarization of a larger paper[1] and talk[2]. This is mentioned explicitly in the second paragraph of the post as well as at the end. (You're right that there's nothing so special about adding a depth guard -- it's CS 101. It's not intended to be communicated as profound; the thing that's supposed to be interesting is that actual vulnerabilities still fall out of this, as the post is meant to tease.)
