While the article may (or may not) mostly make valid points, there is no honesty in linking to a site that will always promote the subject and only give positive spin to the discussion.
Imagine the subject of debate was axes: are axes dangerous? If you only asked theAxeGuild.com the answer would always be no: axes are useful tools but far too unwieldy to be used as a weapon.

Clearly this website is simply trying to sell you axes no matter how good or bad they might actually be.
