Skipping back twenty minutes in time is not a feature. The reason it was skipping in the first place was because it would use a stale param on videos opened from youtube history.

If the URL had a t= parameter then that is also a feature, but I agree that I don't like when such URLs accidentally overwrite the point of the video I wanted to resume from.
The article still calls the 20-second thing a "bug" when it's not.
