Did the article switch the dodecahedron and icosahedron? It specified that the icosahedron is optimal for 12 points and the dodecahedron for 20 which seems backwards to me.

I believe it is right. However, I often get these two intuitively mixed up because:

Icosahedron: 12 points, 20 faces (and 30 edges)

Dodecahedron: 20 points, 12 faces (and 30 edges)

Hmm, that explains it.
