The blog post is from 2004 -- about nine years ago -- a time when there really wasn't much information about REST out there aside from Roy Fielding's dissertation. I recall reading this essay a few years later during my own what-the-heck-is-this-REST-thing-all-about phase and finding it relatively helpful. If he'd just published this blog post today your criticism would have a lot more merit.
