Point Set Match. My objection to this BS is the lack of an alternative approach, other then to pretend to be all-knowing and refuse to answer the bare minimum question of what do we replace this supposedly fallacious paradigm with?Without any reasonable alternative to the inexact art of hand reading / analysis of what equity we have in relationship to those hands that based on the best info we have the villian could actually hold, the story is useless.

The reason no "alternative approach" is presented here is because the alternative is in fact to learn how to play poker. In other words, the information can't be distilled into a 500 word post.
The first step however is to sweap away the incorrect information. Perhaps in a future post I'll talk about alternativs to averaging that are not by nature overly optimistic.
