Nobody could easily explain why early (1950s - 1970s) fusion reactors were so difficult. It must have been that everyone was stupid and creating their own problems.

No one can explain why the Collatz Conjecture is so hard to prove. It must be because everyone is so stupid and is adding incidental complexity to the problem. Why is everyone so stupid?

Or, maybe, possibly, that advice is utter bullshit nonsense and some problems are just hard for reasons that we don't fully understand. Go write a reliable reactive library that works how people expect. Oh, you can't? Better explain exactly why it's so hard then, or it's obviously all your fault.

That advice is so utterly at odds with actual reality that it makes it clear this author should be completely ignored.
