That may have been the case in 2011 when that article was written, but I have just tested this now and my facebook does not accept my password with the case reversed by having the caps lock key on.

They may have changed it, but it was certainly working in 2017: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13426544

iirc, on mac capslock works like (caps OR shift) and on windows its (caps XOR shift), that is, on mac, with capslock on its always cap, but on windows its just a toggle.
