> No one was applying this past that to then come to the claim the pixel size changed at different degrees, which is the implication that the author of this article seems so upset about. Everyone knows the CSS pixel stays the same size across the entire screen, we don't need to discuss that. We certainly don't need enormous articles like this written to correct a problem no one had.

Actually I think this article was (re?)posted in response to another article[1] that made the front page today[2] which did claim that pixels were angular measurements. So certainly some people have had that problem

To be honest, since this article is from January this year and the other is (seemingly) from 2009 I'm not sure why it's come up today, but that's the Internet for you!
