As the OP, I'm giving this one an upvote. I am far from an engineer, so the most I can come up with a hypothesis. I need a real engineer to do the real debugging.
A bit late, but I did want to point out that I enjoyed the article and found it engaging. I was not trying to diminish from you in any way. My comment was much more a semantical argument over the comment than a logical disagreement with your article.
