You are being pedantic to an extreme I haven't even encountered amongst the worst "grammar nazis" and you are using nothing but FUD arguments. So his reply was "muddied" up by that? The amount of upvotes and comments and people linking to the reply very strongly beg to differ. It is a brilliant reply and I am not a native speaker, even I understood it perfectly well too so he must have done something right.
You do not have a single reason to complain and the sooner you realize that, the better it will be for your own sake.

So, to recap: I voiced my irritation at a particular word choice, and the conclusions are:
1) I am therefore worse than the Nazis
2) I'm the one who's being unreasonable
3) If something is popular it follows that it is also perfect and cannot be improved in any way.
Thanks for clearing that up.
