>And to act like a guide on how to scale MongoDB to store 100GB is a problem is also ridiculous
While I agree with a good bit of what you say. I take issue with this. 100GB is not a lot of data by any modern definition. That this guide exists (or existed until it was removed) is a warning sign of hidden gotchas, which is I think what the original author was reacting to. When contemplating a change as big as mongo, those kinds of things make people whose butts are on the line for tech decisions nervous.
Also, that guide didn't say anything about what data structures were being used, the implicit assumption was that you had a properly structured mongo database to begin with.
