The article might educate, but that doesn't appear to be its primary purpose.
The problem with this article and the useless-cat article is that 1) they create a false right vs wrong dichotomy and 2) it gets amplified and used as a tool by the small minded as a citation for "the correct way".

Stay useless.
Were any of the cited examples harming anything? No they weren't.
