The specific example is very specific

Sounds good to me.

the claims that "nobody else gets it" are in fact unsubstantiated

I'm pretty sure that the entire shop at my last consulting job would all claim it was news to them. Most people don't have to deal with issues like the ones discussed in the article, so it's perfectly understandable that it would be news to them. I don't have to deal with such issues on a daily basis, though I think I would have been able to do the same analysis if I had his job.

And the title text is not about "relative latency" you mention but about the cost of paging

I didn't know "relative" was so associated with memory and paging that you could jump to a conclusion about my specific meaning. (And actually, I meant to be quite general.) AFAIK, the cost of paging has something to do with the latency of resident memory vs. latency memory that was paged out.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that the same doesn't hold for the actual target audience of this article.
