With integers/floats, he's saying it's not opinionated enough. Anything other than integers with minor-unit precision, unless you have a very good reason, is a bad idea. So "floating point is almost a bad idea" doesn't go far enough, and the other alternatives are presented somewhat equally.
The FX critique is saying that it's glossing over a lot of the complexity. I'd say the same is true for the treatment of DE ledgers, and it borders on bad advice (e.g. "Balance is never stored. It’s derived from the movements of money.")
