Read the post, i never discuss the security or merit of a biometric versus a standard user/pass login. I only discuss the advantages/disadvantages and goals of each system. If you inferred a recommendation for one or the other then you misunderstood.

I completely agree. However, when you see people go to their 'secret drawer' and open up their password book to login to X, then you realize it's a fundamentally broken system (just as using a raw biometric is).
