The ones at the top of the blog post? The ones on the right are better for nearly every case I can think of.

"what is 'it'?", "who is 'her'?", and "'not working properly' how?" are not the type of detail questions that people generally want to have to ask ever. (maybe the third is sometimes OK)

Yep, that's exactly how human communication ought to work, and the world would be infinitely better if it did. But it doesn't, actually.

I have often been frustrated that my attempts to communicate clearly have failed, but I choose to believe that it’s my fault as a writer, not their fault as a reader.

The alternative is being a jaded, negative person who is unpleasant to work with. It’s too easy, too lazy, to fall into that trap.

Are you disagreeing with their conclusion or just the vibe? You can do both: believe things would be better with some global change, and also accept that won’t happen and do your best with how things are.
