    The academic nature of the article, along with the presentation as absolute fact were the two things that worried me. I do a lot of writing about indexes and I'm very careful to test anything that I claim and not to make absolute statements.

    There's no figures, no indication that any testing was done, and several of the 'facts' are myths that I see repeated again and again.

    Completely agreed. Your posts are based in practice, testing, and experience - and you can back up what you write about. (Yes, I have a couple of them bookmarked. 🙂 )

    I'd love to hear back from the OP on the actual reason that article was written and who the original intended audience was.
