You're missing my point
I think you are missing your own point. Faced with 99 head tosses, you think the 100th should be heads because it proves the system is gamed (eg. the coin is biased).
The article addresses people who believe that faced with 99 head tosses, they think the 100th should be tails (because it is "due").
In other words, the people in the article behave as if they believe that the system in independent (not gamed) but reach the wrong answer.
