Right; I'm of a similar opinion on that part. Philosophers have always thought we needed a philosopher king; military types want a General for president; businesspeople want a merchant king. Conversely, team leads think everybody on the team should know what they do.
We need a leader that can lead. Can enable the team to progress. Without asking them all to understand the details of the goals (business plan; budget negotiations etc).
Might be.
I'm not disagreeing with the article about how programmers can be completely discouraged by the treatment they (or you here) described. Maybe I shouldn't have jumped straight to ignoring the core point and commenting on everything else that the article said, that I believe exemplifies pathological issues that hurt the culture in the company.
