That's a strawmn. A complete mischaracterization of what I wrote.

The "issues" are just wrong, as I pointed out. Like the laughable "infects the entire system" comment using as their example an implementation of fork in which major layers of the system were entirely unaware of fork. Contradicting themselves with their own example. It's not a paper, it's a rant, and it doesn't somehow gain gravitas or value just by being laid out in a particular way.
