The content of the article is a fine introduction for the layman, which is framed with the stupid and condescending "Artists gets it wrong" angle.
It would be like an introduction to the web which begins "professional software developers believe that the internet is the same as the blue 'e' icon on the desktop, but actually..." No, software developers does not believe that, but the layman reader may.
Btw. I disagree that mixing primary inks yield brown because inks are imperfect. Rather, brown is the color you would expect according to theory, because mixing pigments should average their effect.
