Primarily to let others know that the option to mute complete nonsense like this is available (a lot of people don't know and have thanked me for pointing it out) rather than just complaining about it, which is all most people do.

Others spent a lot more time replying. Why come after me?

The majority of replies to this article disagree with it entirely and point out its many, many flaws or reject it entirely as nonsense, which it provably is.

Instead of engaging in debate (aka "mud wrestling the pig", a scenario in which the pig never gets clean but the rest of us always get dirty), why not just mute the "pig" in question?

Problem solved. And questions (yours and mine) answered.
