What if it's really obvious they didn't read the article?
I did read the article. It just didn't occur to me that their combinatorial explosion of diffs was scrape-able. To be honest that sounds like an scrapers tarpit / honeypot now, because there is no value in scraping trillions of diffs. Sounds like the issue could be fixed by putting the diffs in a frontend app, not scrapable by URL, only by clicking around the app.
