I didn't say it was wrong, I said it was useless. Screaming "use bcrypt" is no more helpful than screaming "don't use goto", and being an ass when someone tries to figure out what the actual problem is just turns them off to your "wisdom".
Forest for the trees. This isn't about technical details, it's a question of psychology. Screaming platitudes at people and being a jerk when they ask "Why?" will not result in them following your advice, regardless of its correctness.

Your comparison is false. "goto" is a stylistic nit. Insecure password hashes are not.
