“For all the history of computational mathematical visualization, graphing equations has been done in binary mode...”

Intentional or not, the linked article opens with a comically untrue statement, that, because it is verifiably false, doesn't even escape as puffery. When I encounter this sort of grandstanding in framing (generally from junior engineers or fresh-from-school product managers), I spell out just how negatively such misstatements harm the point being made.

It's a turn-off for readers, and it's unnecessary.

"You may be used to seeing graphs like..." or "In grade school, we learned to graph like..."

would probably be more useful than dismissal of the history of visualization of implicit functions. Hopefully, next time, the author will be a bit less grandiose.
