Very misleading writing style IMO. I would say most of their bullet points ARE actually true in most cases… they just keep bringing up somewhat rare/exotic exceptions as a way to call it a “falsehood”.
Not everything can be easily boxed into Boolean categories so no, a mostly true claim is not simply false. You are erasing the key context and nuance to make this foolish absolute statement.
Details such as that accepting the statement “a claim which is mostly true is false” means that “a claim which is mostly false is true” must also be accepted (that one, or “a claim which is sometimes true is true” depending on what you think “not (mostly true)” means) :)

A claim which is mostly true is false. Programmers should pay attention to details, since that is all computers know.

Details like the fact that people can have differing opinions and perspectives, and should not speak in absolutes?
