Why would you think that was my goal? Did i say the author was stupid or didn't pay attention? I simply pointed out a limitation that might not be obvious to others at first sight and which wasn't discussed in the article itself, thus also providing for others an easy starting point to improve on the algorithm as presented.

Heck, in the circles* i run the first part of my comment is even praise. Figuring out ways to approximate "real" results so they can be done in realtime is not easy.
