This is a gross misrepresentation of the article. It is in your own head that he solely focuses on this one thing. When somebody says "this soup needs more salt" you start talking about how there always is too much salt in processed food these days? The article is a about a concrete narrow subject, not about "performance" (the entire field).
Can't some people read an article without extrapolating to the end of the known universe and just stick to just the article's actual narrow subject?
