What I find asinine is that the writer says substructural type systems (the concept which the names of the types are inherited from) are badly named, yet I'm somewhat dubious that he knows anything about them? I certainly don't, and although the relationship between affine types and affine spaces is not immediately obvious to me, the relationship between linear types and linearity is very clear.
