Well, I read the article, and the author's point about a library being for knowledge-sharing is misleading and possibly even dishonest. It's over-emphasized and ignores other important realities about how and why a library works the way it does.

I wouldn't say it ignores, more that he's making a supposition (an implied one). He supposes that if libraries had no expenses, no physicality, and nobody had to get paid, it would resemble file-sharing.
