Good prose often involves misdirection. Making the reader believe something to be one way, while it was something else all along. Then, in a built up climax, undo the knot in a single pull to blow the reader's mind. That, to me, is the antithesis of the article's argument.

Sure, but if you know about misdirection, you also know how to appropriately direct attention to the parts of the code that is important.
