Yeah, it's a relatively good high level post about SNARKs, but there's some confusion about the role of PCPs in SNARKs.

(all SNARKs have some probabilistic checking at the core; that's how you get succinctness)

Author here, I did gloss over PCPs certainly, and agree that SNARKs also use PCPs and I might have made the terrible conclusion about proof sizes. Will push an update soon ! thanks for taking the time.
