A pretty bad article to be honest, just creating confusion.
Emacs buffers are not the reason why functions like forward-paragraph exists.
That’s just normal abstraction (in programming).

Not that I don’t love how Emacs does it, but I just think it’s not that closely correlated to the notion of what is a buffer as the header of the article implied
