To be clear, the article was amazing. That has already been said multiple times by others so if I left a comment saing just that I would contribute nothing. Besides, the size of the criticism (in this case small, as you point out) is an even better measure of quality than number of fawning comments.

I also publish articles (though nowhere near as good or ambitious as this one) online and the comments I look forward to most are the constructively critical ones. They are the reason I publish in the first place.

My only goal of giving and receiving constructive criticism is to improve our collective understanding of the world. There's nothing sinister or ill-natured about it as another commenter suggested.

(This extends to comments as well. I really appreciate you prompting me to check my tone.)

This made me think of how I hate Youtube comments. All the high-fiving positive ones end up on the top and not the ones that provide an opportunity to learn or think critically.
