Many of the quotes in the article are doing exactly what they're giving advice about not doing, so that in reading it, you can see exactly what happens if you ignore the advice. The title is doing the same.

Absolutely, I wasn't sure if the entire article was intended as a complicated joke / cautionary example.

An interesting way to communicate the message, but I'm sure it was largely unintentional.

Ah that's why reading the advice felt like walking through sludge.
