Anything that declares itself as the "One True Way" is short-sighted and blinkered and *that* I have a problem with. The rest of it is window dressing.

I don't see anywhere in the article where it's author claims or implies that his is the 'one true way', I think you are putting words into his mouth.
....So are you saying that you don't have anything against the ideas (that I have highlited) expressed in the article, it's just that you don't like it because
you believe it is setting itself up to be 'the one true way' ?
