And yet the article decided to use 4 things that are inconsequential as their headline topics rather than that list

So you didn't read the article, and just read the headline and lede.

No I read the article and I've seen the rest of the posts here containing the list you mentioned. I was commenting specifically on that line from the article hence why I quoted it

Why would they make the article at all then?

People are discussing it, and an article that downplays it will suggest the discussion is overreaction.

But the article doesn't downplay it, it just uses bad examples. You'd have to be technically adept enough to know that the examples were bad whilst also not knowing what meta actually collects

Maybe I'm just paranoid and they're just stupid, then.
