The author decidedly has expert syndrome -- they deny both the history and rational behind memory units nomenclature. Memory measurements evolved utilizing binary organizational patterns used in computing architectures. While a proud French pedant might agree with the decimal normalization of memory units discussed, it aligns more closely to the metric system, and it may have benefits for laypeople, it fails to account for how memory is partitioned in historic and modern computing.

None of your criticisms--which start with an absurd and meaningless ad hominem--apply to the actual content of the article.

Elsewhere you write

> They are definitely denying the importance of 2-fold partitioning in computing architectures.

No, they definitely aren't. There are no words in the article that deny anything at all.
