Can't really argue with anything specific here, but this and the last article's general premise seems like, "if you have a choice, you might want to go with C for these reasons...". The problem is, I can't remember the last time I had any practical choice between C and a higher level language. I'd love to use C more, but the decision is almost always made for me by a client, or a useful framework/library that only exists in language X, or a platform, or a boss.
