Does not sound like a fair comparison ;)

It's a valid comparison for his point that Mercurial is much more reliable for his workflows than git.

I have used git a lot, and rarely, if ever, get it into a confused state. I have used Mercurial less, and I have found it easy to get things tangled up without a clear way out.

It kinda sounds like the system you know best, is the one you can handle better regardless of whether it's git or Mercurial.

To me it reads as a warning that Mercurial repos are prone to being screwed up even if the user has over a decade of experience avoiding Mercurial's traps while with Git only bold inexperienced users can screw up repos in a similar matter.

A decade's worth of experience vs beginner-level experience could explain the issue. Not saying it does, just that it could.
