Logical fallacy (bifurcation): either you correctly implement all of the requirements, or it makes no sense trying at all. Note that the article even explicitly says "try to make _fewer_ of these assumptions," not "you MUST explicitly support all this."

Similar example: Do you lock your door, or does that make no sense to you? (Because if there's no absolute, perfect, 100% protection, there's apparently no difference at all between locked, closed and wide open; right?)

Logical fallacy (non sequitur), as the comment you're responding to said nothing of the kind, and argued specifically for a middle point in the second of only two sentences.
