One couldn't argue that gold isn't backed by anything. There's no argument to be made, the Bitcoin FAQ is flat out wrong.

Gold, at a minimum, is backed by the infinite, perpetual demand by people for luxury goods. It's also backed to a lesser extent by industrial uses.

Such demand guarantees some level of value for gold.
