What do you mean explains it? CNAMEs can’t point to IPs. This article doesn’t say otherwise. Also this article says you should use “www”.

The post you replied to also said a CNAME can't point to an IP:
"as far as a CNAME needing to point to another domain instead of an IP"
So, it's unclear to me who you're arguing with. I thought a post explaining why using a CNAME on an "apex domain" is potentially problematic might be helpful. Guess not.

To me, that sentence reads as that it's possible for a CNAME to point to an IP, but that someone has a need to point it to a domain. Which makes the sentence incorrect, since it assumes something impossible, and explains hacknat's urge to correct it.
