I think you're missing the point of the article. Pretty much entirely.

That's a bit overly harsh and missing the point of the article

You might wanna read the article. It argues the very point you are making.

I wouldn't blame you if that's what the article actually said... (it didn't)

Sorry, I think you're just missing the point of the article.

Doesn't seem like you actually read the article...I'm afraid this is one of the "article title doesn't fit my ideology" comments.

That's not the point, I was commenting on the article.

Not sure what point you're making. I read the article too.
