The most important point of Taleb's is right near the top, in particular anything with graphs. This article pretty much just ignores that entire section (especially the quiz part is a very nice illustration for the statistically challenged). It doesn't even address the point that the outcome graph with the lower tail blocked is basically an entirely random distribution.

Then it happily continues to use the graphs and averaged results, that Taleb showed contain almost no signal, as if nothing happened.

This is not a serious rebuttal.
