You should not at all feel bad!
This way, others in a similar situation to you get to benefit from GP's explanation. Moreover, GP got to interact with others on this concept.
I'd also wager it took less effort for GP to write this, and then for you to read it, than it would have taken you to do all of it yourself.
Point being, your question led to a very useful answer, and you should be proud, not sorry.

I for once read that article twice already (once a few years ago, second time today), and I still gained by reading GGP's comment - reading someone else's summary of a topic is a way of quickly validating your own understanding.
Yeah, don't worry about it. People learn new things all the time, I didn't mind writing the comment :)

Don't feel bad, only in tech do we start using a whole new terminology from some random dude's blog post.
As xkcd explains, you are one of the 10000: https://xkcd.com/1053/ so you shouldn't feel bad about it.
I was just put off from doing so because of the author's assumption that everyone in tech is on the same page when this isn't necessarily the case. Many or even most folks "in tech" give little thought to PL design, at least not in the way that would have them read that article, though influential it might have been to some folks in tech that are into these discussions 6 years ago.
