Close, but it's more like the threshold for "wrong" is much higher than most people care to admit. The methods that many very wealthy people use to reduce their tax burden should be common knowledge in society as a whole, not merely among the very wealthy. In that way, such knowledge will inform robust and honest debate about taxes in general. So much political discourse is piloted by well-compensated media gatekeepers, for the benefit of those who compensate them rather than for the general public. We should cherish those rare instances in which the curtain is pulled aside so we may see how things really work. The schoolboy legalism seen in TFA amounts to obscurantist sophistry, based on nothing more profound than simple analogy.
BTW, thanks for a reasonable and incisive response.
