You should maybe actually read the article before commenting.

A huge part of it addressed your exact question.

And saying you have no subscription is no excuse - someone posting a link to it at least an hour before you commented.

I did not read the article because it's paywalled and I am respecting their business model, as I am not a subscriber.
