Honestly it's a pretty well written and explained article. I hesitate to say that it's entirely human generated, but I certainly would try and judge it for its content before just writing it off as slop.
Personally I think the author overstates the practicality of using counters for serialization, as the ordering of source code is also a very cosmetic thing and tweaking scenes ruins the save format. There's no possibility for backward compatibility either in such cases.
