Yeah, you make fair points. I guess the upsetting thing to me wasn't you asking about it, but the fact that this was posted several times on here already. We should agree that you definitely could have looked, if only on this section of this website alone, before posting.
In all fairness, I do harbor a hatred for seeing this particular article around, since even people I know in real life have been sending it to me. For whatever reason, this piece of misinformation has spread like a forest fire and the number of people it has ensnared is incredibly frustrating to me. It is very unethical to write a piece so obviously incorrect as this and have it reverberate through modern society for so long.
