This article reads like: "D&D is not like this other game I imagined! Why?" It is a pedantic, tunnel-vision diatribe that focusses upon Gygax's casual use of the word "medievel". While not explicitly built into the D&D system, the author completely misses the point that D&D has considerable flexibility to allow for many of the "glaring" medievel flavor lacks they didacticly emphasize.
