Yeah.. I think the article's flawed.  The concepts he so flippantly disposes 
of are key to understand what's going on behind the scenes.  Coders who 
discount such important concepts are the same "coders" who may a flash web 
page and call them selves web developers. ;)

other programmer's spaghetti! And more so if that code ends in .pl !  ;)
