The title did not refer to years passed since the introduction of SQL, but to years passed since the publication of the paper with the title "A Critique of the SQL Database Language", i.e. from 1984-11.

So the title is correct.

Title may be correct. First sentence is totally wrong. Why would I read further?

It's off by two years. People often round 48 to 50. I don't mind TFA rounding 48 to 50; you seem to, so don't read it if you don't want to.
