> However, I don't agree that if someone's ranking of these values differs from others on the team that means that someone should leave.

The use of the word “agree” suggests that the article says the thing you say you don't agree with but it doesn't.

The importance (to be fair, absolute importance is probably more important than ranking here) of the questions is important to ubderstabing how much you can or cannot accept divergence in the subject matter of each question between your preference and that of (or imposed on, for those where the decision comes from outside) the team.

And the same works in reverse for the team’s perceived importance of each question and their ability to accommodate/tolerate divergence from you.

So understanding the ranking, yours and the teams, is important to understanding fit, but fit isn't driven by alignment of the rankings (in fact, to the extent that there is disagreement in preferences, it is ideal that your importance order is inverted from the teams—that you are flexible where the team is inflexible, and vice versa.)
