My music theory is very weak, but I have some difficulty understanding the point of supermode; if it includes 10 out of the 12 notes, then does it really function as a scale anymore or would it be just simpler to think in terms of the chromatic scale and abandon modes altogether?

Not to mention that it excludes the b5, and saying that's not a substantial part of the RS top 500 is laughable. So really what they're saying is b2 can go to hell.
