The first diagram in that article is pretty ironic in an HN comment thread about Monty @ Xiph's stuff. Have you never seen his takedown of the "stairstep" drawing?

I have seen it.
This is a marketing page after all, explaining point-wise samples, reconstruction filters and "staircases" is way beyond scope.
Same as in images, pixels are not "little squares"
One of the central points of that video by Monty is that staircase drawings are a lie. It's not that they need to be explained, they need to be avoided.
