I strongly rebut the following claim, which is central to the article

I would disagree that offering an alternate solution that avoids the problem is a rebuttal of the fact that there are quirks in isolation level implementations across RDBMSs that can surprise even seasoned developers.

The author specifically claimed that using a safer system like postgres would not have prevented the problem. But the evidence only says that it may not have prevented the problem.

It still looks to me like they would have stood a better chance with poatgres.
