It says that they have more important problems to be working on than managing their university's web-servers, which a CS undergrad could do.

I find it hilarious.
They’re so busy with their “more important” issues, that the whole thing fails in practice.
If they truly had organizational wisdom we could utilize, why don’t they deploy it themselves, to keep their website online during small spikes in traffic?
If their work can’t even be applied to their own organization successfully, why should we believe it will be successful elsewhere?
“Physician, heal thyself.”
This is such a weak argument. Where did you hear that their principles were not being applied in real life? Why do you automatically assume the university's website is built on their principles? This entire discussion is trivial.
